At its January 2010 meeting, The Rotary Foundation Board of Trustees increased the maximum Matching Grant award from US$150,000 to $200,000, effective 1 July 2010.
During 2009-10, Health, Hunger, and Humanity (3-H) Grants were phased out, one year earlier than initially anticipated under the Future Vision Plan, due to the decrease in available World Funds.
In the absence of 3-H grants, increasing the maximum Matching Grant award allows clubs and districts to undertake larger projects than previously possible with Matching Grants.
The Trustees hope that this change will give Rotarians around the world the ability to continue to pursue large-scale sustainable development projects through the Matching Grants program. Matching Grants materials are currently being updated to reflect the change and will be available soon at www.rotary.org.
Please contact your humanitarian grant coordinator for more information regarding deadlines and requirements for competitive Matching Grant applications (applications requesting more than US$25,000 from the Foundation).
