GLOBAL GRANTS - OUR DISTRICT DOING GOOD IN THE WORLD
One half of the money that is donated to the Rotary Foundation comes back to our District to use as we choose. Half of that is reserved for District (local) Grants, the other goes for Global Grants that we choose.
Since 2020, our District has used over $234,000 to match with club and additional matching from Rotary International to do good in the world. That total is
$1,056,848
