72. Project Bank Account
• An account dedicated to the project must be set
up.
– (An overseas USD account requires the bank to
name a US ―correspondent bank‖).
• Account may be set up and managed by either
the Host Club or the International Club.
• Two signatories are required, who must go the
project via RI Member Access and confirm their
assignment.
PDG Ignace Mouawad – Rotary Club Beirut Metropolitan - LEBANON
73. Collecting Pledged Money
• Pledges may be sent by Clubs and
Individuals directly to RI/TRF with the
proper form.
• But then the Primary Contact has a
hard time tracking pledge status.
• Recommendation: Collect all the
International pledges and send them to
TRF with a Multiple Donor Form(s).
PDG Ignace Mouawad – Rotary Club Beirut Metropolitan - LEBANON
74. Funding the Project
• The Rotary Fund receives the pledged
cash from the Host and International
sources.
• TRF wires the total of Cash, DDF, and RI
Match to the project account.
• The project is now ―Paid‖. The clock has
started!
PDG Ignace Mouawad – Rotary Club Beirut Metropolitan - LEBANON
75. Project Management
• It’s difficult when you are not the performing organization.
• Get a clear understanding and agreement in advance with the
Host Club on their responsibilities.
• Encourage the Host Club to use the document storage feature
of matchinggrants.org/global and the mailing list feature for
project communications.
• Show that you are interested and need information back here
frequently for informal reports. Keep in touch. Skype works.
• A visit to the project site is a great way to keep in touch.
• Follow up on due dates in advance.
• Stay current on reporting.
PDG Ignace Mouawad – Rotary Club Beirut Metropolitan - LEBANON
76. Global Grants Project Reporting
• A Progress Report is due 12 months after TRF funds
are disbursed, and every 12 months thereafter.
• The Final Report is due two months after completion of
project and includes an explanation of variances > 10%.
• Bank statements for all expenses are required for both
Progress and Final Reports.
• Reports are submitted online through RI Member
Access, completing the appropriate forms plus uploads.
• There are special reports for VTTs, Global Scholars, and
Microfinance projects.
PDG Ignace Mouawad – Rotary Club Beirut Metropolitan - LEBANON
77. Pitfalls to Avoid
• Sustainability plan not provided.
• Financing plan not based on actual pledges.
• Not providing required MOUs.
• Funds were not placed in separate bank account.
• Not getting signatures when needed.
• Uploaded bank statements not legible, or cannot be
matched to reported expenses.

91. Global Grant Example 1
• A district sponsors a scholar to another country to
enroll in a two-year master’s degree program in the
field of water management.
• The global grant covers the scholar’s expenses before
she departs—for example visa application,
participation in a regional outbound orientation
seminar for Foundation grantees, and airline ticket.
• The grant also covers the scholar’s expenses while
abroad—for example tuition, language training,
housing, food, and costs associated with her field
research and supplies while in India.
PDG Ignace Mouawad – Rotary Club Beirut Metropolitan - LEBANON
92. Global Grant Example 2
• Clubs and districts apply for a Rotary Foundation
Global Grant to help implement an international
malaria project that has been designed with support
from one of the Foundation’s strategic partners to
distribute bed nets and malaria treatments.
• The partner organization helps provide surveillance
and training in collaboration with Rotarians on the
ground who are distributing bed nets and training
people to use them in rural areas.
PDG Ignace Mouawad – Rotary Club Beirut Metropolitan - LEBANON
93. Global Grant Example 3
• A vocational training team of ten physicians travel to another
country to study how healthcare professionals treat foot injuries
resulting from various diseases.
• The global grant covers the team’s expenses before it departs—for
example visa applications, inoculations, participation in a regional
outbound orientation seminar for Foundation grantees, language
training, and airline tickets.
• The grant also covers the team’s expenses while abroad—for
example housing, food, supplies to construct the footwear, and
hosting the workshop.
• The district includes in the grant the cost for a reciprocal visit of a
vocational training team from the other country where they can
receive specialized training.
PDG Ignace Mouawad – Rotary Club Beirut Metropolitan - LEBANON
94. District Grant Example 1
• International travel for a local doctor to volunteer
at a clinic. The district has complete control over
the length of travel and who is qualified to go.
• Possible travelers could be non-Rotarians,
Rotarians, Rotaract members, spouses of
Rotarians, etc.
• The district will also have the flexibility to cover
any immunizations, visas, hotel costs, supplies
relating to the project.
PDG Ignace Mouawad – Rotary Club Beirut Metropolitan - LEBANON
95. District Grant Example 2
• Scholarship for a student to attend a local
university. The district will be able to determine
the area of study, length of study term, and the
age and previous experience the scholar should
have.
• The scholarship could fund their travel, tuition,
books, and other school fees.
PDG Ignace Mouawad – Rotary Club Beirut Metropolitan - LEBANON
96. District Grant Example 3
• Donating art supplies for an after-school youth
program.
• The district can choose to do this local project in
conjunction with a single club or as a district wide
project.
• They will also be able to provide $500 worth of
supplies or $15,000 worth of supplies, depending
on how the district chooses to use these funds.
PDG Ignace Mouawad – Rotary Club Beirut Metropolitan - LEBANON
97. District Grant Example 4
• Send Shelter Box containers in response to
natural disaster in another district.
• The district may have initially earmarked funds for
an after school program.
• After learning about a recent disaster, the district
can change its original plans and use that funding
to respond to the disaster.
PDG Ignace Mouawad – Rotary Club Beirut Metropolitan - LEBANON
98. District Grant Example 5
• Support a district project funded primarily by the
clubs.
• Rotarians from several Rotary clubs in the district
work together to develop a water project in a rural
village and have raised some funding on their own
but need a small amount more to complete the
project and purchase the necessary equipment.
• The district distributes some of their district grant
funds to the clubs involved to complete this small
humanitarian project in their district.
PDG Ignace Mouawad – Rotary Club Beirut Metropolitan - LEBANON
99. District Grant Example 6
• Hold a professional exchange with another district
similar to the current Group Study Exchange
program.
• The district could select participants to travel
based on their own requirements and use district
grant funds to purchase the airfare and other
travel-related expenses.
• The district might also choose to use these funds
to bring a team from another district as part of the
exchange.

PDG Ignace Mouawad – Rotary Club Beirut Metropolitan - LEBANON
101. Global Grant Project
Project Title: Supplying Clean Water to Fradees
Village in Zgharta
Project Area: Fradees Village in Zgharta is in the
North part of Lebanon.
Total Project Amount: $55,250
Project Description: Fradees is a village located between
the provinces of Zgharta and Becharre. The village has a
population of 500, dealing with raising livestock and partially
agriculture. The village had very insufficient amount of water
which was being collected in a 45-years-old tank and given
to the village two times a day for periods of 30 minutes.
PDG Ignace Mouawad – Rotary Club Beirut Metropolitan - LEBANON
102. • The water needed for the cows and sheep was carried by
tanks from a small and dirty river, which is located 5 km
away from the village.
• There are two springs in the northwest of the village, in
4.6km distance. This project aimed to bring the water from
these two springs to the village and supply discharge of
0.7lt per second to be used by 500 people and 200 cows
and 700 sheep.
• The currently available amount of water was extremely
insufficient for the people living in the village.
• Moreover the water need of the livestock could not be
supplied, which is very important for financial development
of the village.
PDG Ignace Mouawad – Rotary Club Beirut Metropolitan - LEBANON
103. • This project would supply and completely recover the
need of bringing water, which would also be useful for
the public health, to the village.
• On the other hand, villagers would save a considerable
amount of time, whereas they are currently spending for
fetching water.
• Successfully completion of this project helped villagers
to spend more time for their economical activities. If
needed, all required repairs will be funded by the
Municipality.
• The project has been completed succesfuly and closed.

106. Global Grant Project
Project Title: Majdel Achieving Healtier Drinking
Water Groundwork Project.
Project Area: Majdel is a village in Mont Lebanon
Total Project Amount: $60,250
Project Description: The villagers are residents of Majdel,
which consists of 375 houses. Some of the residents are
living abroad but staying in Majdel in summers. The
population of permanent residents, which stands for 280
houses, are 750. In summer, this number reaches up to
3000. This project will supply and completely recover the
need of drinking water, which will also be useful for the public
health, to the village.
PDG Ignace Mouawad – Rotary Club Beirut Metropolitan - LEBANON
107. Majdel Water Project
• What was the problem?
– A 50 year old water supply system providing water to
village of 500-3000 (seasonal residences). Original
construction of Eternit reinforced concrete pipes, now
cracked and failing. The results were:
• High incidence of cancer
• High loss of water due to leakage
• Infusion of ground living bacteria and
diseases
• Insufficient water pressure to serve all
houses in village
PDG Ignace Mouawad – Rotary Club Beirut Metropolitan - LEBANON
108. Majdel Water Project
• What was the solution?
– Install 12000 meters of 10 cm High Density Poly
Ethylene water pipe (the current world standard) to
replace the failing pipe. Integrate with existing valves,
where possible, additional valves and pipes to serve
added houses in village.
– Get local cooperation and participation with
equipment, design, on-site supervision. Coordinate
with seasonally available labor (volunteer & paid)

Editor's Notes
The Rotary Foundation is demanding that you create a project that is larger in scope than the projects in the past. Now, the Rotary Foundation wants the minimum match to be $15,000. The club and district contributions would need to be matched $.50 and $1, respectively. The grants will require more partnerships within our district and even outside of our district to raise enough money to qualify for a global grant. The global grants must meet one of the six areas of focus. The application for global grants will be under member access at the www.Rotary.org web site.
Global Grants fund large-scale international projects that respond to needs that have been identified locally. The community needs to be able to have the knowledge and skills and funds to maintain the project once the grant is done. The global grants will be applied online at the member access page of the www.rotary.org website. As usual, active Rotary involvement is a must. Global grants can also support international graduate-level international studies. Undergraduate scholarships will not be supported. In some cases, global grants will build on the work of previous global grants to make a significant and long-term impact on a community, region, or country. It is expected that Rotarians can develop measurable results that are easy to explain and report.
The District Grants will fund local or international projects grants with smaller budgets. The average size for a local district grant will continue to be $3,000. Educational, travel, disaster relief, scholarships and other projects can be funded by District Grants.The Districts Grants are under the control of our Rotary District. The District Grants will also fund our district GSE team and other projects. The most that a district grant can match is $10,000. District grants support the mission of the Rotary Foundation and may also target an area of focus. There are no minimum budgets for district grants. Our Rotary Clubs have applied for a $250 or $500 local district grant match in the past for dictionaries. District grants can provide scholarships to students attending colleges locally in the USA. District grants are simpler, but still adhere to the grant terms and conditions.
District grants are flexible, simple, and innovative. We have a lot less red tape with a district grant. The rules and funding is left primarily up to the district leadership. District grants support smaller projects and allows for more local decision making. The only negative about district grants is that we will not have a match from the Rotary Foundation. The budget for a district grant is the combined contributions from the club and the district. The district grants will have different guidelines from global grants which will vary from each Rotary district. The key factor is that the Rotarians are still making the commitment to spend the money wisely.
The types of projects are similar between district grants and global grants, but the scope of the effort is usually bigger for global grants. The type of scholarships differ between district and global grants. A educational or literary project may be very similar between the two grants except one is done in our hometown and the global grant is done around the world. The simple way to know the difference is that a district grant does not have a minimum budget, but it doesn’t get a match from the Rotary Foundation. The global grant has a minimum budget of $30,000 and gets matching funds from the clubs, district, and the Rotary Foundation.
Packaged grant partners are selected by the Rotary Foundation. The Packaged grants will tend to be large, comprehensive and sustainable. The idea is usually developed by the Rotary Foundation, but it may be possible for Rotarians to suggest a potential partner. The funding is usually 100% raised by the Rotary Foundation World Fund and the Non-Profit Partner.Packaged grants are projects that have been pre-arranged with non-profit organizations. The Packaged grants need primarily Rotary involvement without the initial fundraising to support the packaged grant. Packaged Grants allow Rotary Clubs who may not be able to raise large quantities of money to participate in international projects. A partnership between Rotary and other non-profit organizations are packaged and ready to go by our Rotary Clubs.Rotarians can work aboard one of the Mercy Ships off the coast of Africa. They can set up a microcredit project working with Oikocredit which has a vast knowledge how to set up and run microcredit loans to enable economic development. UNESCO – Institute for Water Education trains how to best provide clean water and Aga Khan University trains nurses and medical professionals in countries like Kenya.
The Future Vision changes do not impact PolioPlus, the Rotary Peace Centres for International Studies (Peace Scholars). It also does not change our priority for doing good in the world. The new grants will still require “hands-on” involvement by Rotarians. We will need to build more partnerships with other Rotarians in our district and around the world. Grants will still require building trust, friendships, and lasting relationships with other Rotarians and non-profit organizations. We will still be doing local and international projects.
