District Grants
District Grants fund smaller scale, short-term projects in your community or around the globe. District 7210’s very simple one-page District Grant application is typically due in early spring, for projects to be conducted during the following Rotary year (July 1 – June 30), typically with 20+ Clubs receiving grant awards ranging from $250 to $4,000, and an average District Grant award of about $1,000.
Global Grants
Global Grants support significant projects with sustainable and measurable outcomes in partnership between at least two Districts from different countries. The extensive application process for Global Grants, with grant awards between $15,000 and $400,000, often takes a year or more, but the benefits are obviously worth it. Recent examples of Global Grant projects currently underway by Clubs in our District include clean water projects in Haiti, and a pending environmental project here in our own Hudson Valley.
