On Saturday, May 1, 2021, the District Foundation Committee presented an on-line Seminar about the Rotary Foundation and its Grants Program (Global and District Grants). The Seminar consisted of two sessions, starting at 8.30 am . The Seminar was not an alternative to the District’s Qualification process. Instead, it can be seen as a compliment to the three training Modules that are found on www.rotary7070.org However, those attending the Seminar should find it easier to successfully complete the three Quizzes that are required for the Qualification process. The first half of the program provided a general overview of the Rotary Foundation; its mission, funds, ways of supporting the Foundation, the Foundation’s organization and programs. The second half covered the Grants program and included case presentations of Global and District Grant projects from the District.
The program consisted of two segments. The first half included presentations of the history, mission, and governance of the Foundation, including how Rotarians can donate and support the Foundation. The second half concentrated on how Rotarians and Rotary Clubs can access funds (grants) from the Rotary Foundation. Two Global Grant projects and two District Grant projects were presented by the authors of the applications for those projects.
