The Rotary wheel keeps turning. It is already time to start planning for the 2027-28 Rotary year. In particular, preparing for the Foundation grant management activities. The yearly Rotary Foundation Workshop will be held on Saturday, November 14, 2026, at the Shriner’s Hall , 1626 Simcoe St N , in Oshawa.
The agenda will include an up-date on the Rotary Foundation, including rules and regulations for District and Global Grant projects. Of particular interest, there will be a presentation of the new process for District Grant applications. For the 2027-28 Rotary year, District 7070 will continue to use the ClubRunner module. The program will also include case presentations. The Workshop is open to all Rotary and Rotaract Club members in the District. Those attending the full program will be counted for the Rotary Foundation qualification (min. 2 members/Club) for the 2027-28 Rotary year. Attendance is free; however, registration is required.

Clubs that want to apply for District and/or Global Grants must be qualified for the full duration of their projects each and every year. Qualifications are yearly and can be obtained by having at least 2 Club members attending the November 14, 2026 workshop and/or taking the 2027-28 on-line training modules. The modules will be posted on the District’s website March 1, 2027. In addition, the Club must sign an MOU with the District.
