Global Grants
Global Grants are significant, sustainable projects that meet community-identified needs. These grants are sponsored by two clubs or districts: a host partner in the country where the activity takes place and an international partner outside the country. There is a minimum budget of $30,000, which can be composed of any combination of cash, District Designated Funds (DDF), and World Fund match.

Participation Requirements

Community Assessment
When considering any project, sponsors must conduct a thorough community assessment. This assessment explores the pressing needs identified by the community and identifies club and community resources available to address them.
