The minimum total budget for a global grant project is US$30,000.

The district is responsible for ensuring clubs have taken  Global Grant Training and signed the MOU which qualify clubs to apply for a Global Grant.  However, the district does not handle applications for Global Grants or oversee the management of the grants.  A comprehensive guide to Global Grants is available on the Rotary International Website.   As all matters related to Global Grants are handled directly by The Rotary Foundation, you will need to manage a grant application through the Rotary International website.
