We all know that large Global Grants from the Foundation make it possible to undertake high impact international projects – but did you know they can be used for local projects too? A good example is the Hills Kellyville Club in north-west Sydney. They were able to invest US$10,400 of their own funds and deliver US$116,557 in advanced imaging facilities that their local children’s hospital needed to treat kids with serious sight impairment. And there’s the Waikerie Club in South Australia. With a club investment of US$15,152, they’ve had grants approved that will enable them to provide a desperately needed US$152,945 dialysis unit in a remote indigenous community in the north-west of the state. If your club has a vision to create a major project that will have a significant impact on people’s lives, consider Rotary Foundation grants – for international and local projects. Foundation funding would not be possible without the wonderful generosity of Rotarians and clubs! |
