Attendance at this seminar is required for any club seeking to apply for a Rotary Foundation Global Grant.  It is also highly recommended for any club wishing to apply for a District Grant.  Attendees will learn what types of projects qualify for grant funds, how to make projects sustainable beyond the initial grant, and the financial requirements of administering a grant.  Learn about finding good overseas partners and the pitfalls of doing projects in another part of the world.  Hear firsthand from grant makers and grantees how to structure a project for success.  You will also learn about project priorities and new requirements for District Grants.  We will also devote a portion of the program to increasing your knowledge of the Rotary Foundation and how it works.
