Any club in district 3140 or any other districts in the world is eligible to post their projects on this site.
The Rotary Foundation decides and lays down the eligibility rules for Matching Grant projects. If you do not follow these rules, your project will not be approved and will not receive matching funds from the Rotary Foundation.
You will find more information on the Matching Grant section of the Rotary International website, and the specific eligibility rules. This includes the Guide to Matching Grants (4 MB), and the Terms and Conditions for Matching Grant Awards. For complete details visit the Matching Grants section of the Rotary’s website.
Note that most construction projects are not eligible for Matching Grants. Since July 2001, renovations of buildings are also not eligible. The only exceptions are separate utility building where people do not live or work, like latrines, poultry houses, or water related construcion. For complete details visit the Matching Grants section of the Rotary’s website.
You must also be aware that Clubs must submit a final report to the Rotary Foundation within a prescribed period after the completion of the project. Failure to do so will earmark the Club as "delinquent" and the Club will not be allowed to participate to any more Matching Grant projects until all final reports are submitted. Minimum project size
As per the present Rotary Foundation rules the minimum funding from The Rotary Foundation for a Matching Grant Project is US $ 5000. The Rotary Foundation matches Pledges from DDFs to the extent of 100% whereas the pledges from individual clubs are matched to the extent of 50%. This has to be reckoned while calculating the total Project funding and funds expected from The Rotary Foundation.
WHILE THE ROTARY FOUNDATION PRESCRIBES REASONABLE RULES FOR AWARDING MATCHING GRANTS, SUCH AWARDS ARE A BOON TO HUMANITY. WE WISH AND HOPE THAT INNUMERABLE PROJECTS ARE CARRIED OUT BY DISTRICT 3140 AND EVERY OTHER DISTRICT IN THE WORLD UNDER THE ROTARY FOUNDATION’S MATCHING GRANT AND OTHER AWARDS PROGRAM. |
