Part of your contributions to The Rotary Foundation are made available for District use. The Rotary Foundation contributions are held and invested for a three-year period before they are available to support RI projects and programs. The income received on the contributions offset the Foundation administrative expenses. Following the three year period one-half of the contributions received from the District are available to District 5650 clubs applying for grants.

District Grants can be used for the following:

Humanitarian projects, including service travel and disaster recovery efforts

Scholarships for any level, length of time, location, or area of study

Vocational training teams, which are groups of professionals who travel abroad either to teach local professionals about a particular field or to learn more about their own
