Four Other Reasons to Do a Matching Grant
1. Builds good will and friendships– Here and abroad
2. Travel opportunities3. Learn about another country, culture4. Best of all, through the power of Rotary:
You can do what you couldn’t Do on your own!
What Can You Fund with a Matching Grant?
Secular, non religious activities Water and sanitation systems Infrastructure (roads, bridges, etc.) Books, furnishings, school uniforms, tuition Vaccines and medical equipment Maternal and prenatal health care & education Microcredit & revolving loan funds Humanitarian supplies and services
What you Cannot Fund with a Matching Grant
Projects without the sponsorship and oversight of a local Rotary Club.
Trust Funds and Endowments Basically many types of buildings Water & electricity inside buildings Land mine removal Projects already under way Donations to other organizations Projects that support religious organizations and
activities in places of worship
Some Basic Expectations
Active Rotarian participation and oversight Maintain communication for the life of the
project Establish a committee of at least three
Rotarians to oversee the project Treat grant funds as a sacred trust Maintain clear and accurate accounting Publicizing the project to local media and the
district
A Few Other Things…
Rotary’s Future Vision Plan Pilot vs. Non-Pilot Districts
– D 5100 is a non-pilot district Club Certification & training in 2012 But don’t let these get in the way of
sponsoring a project NOW!
1. Getting Started
Take responsibility to make it happen in your club– Start with your passion
Water, literacy, health, etc.– Get club President & Board Support– Get a WCS line item budget commitment– Recruit committee members– Fire up the base
2. Do Some Basic Homework

5. Have Fun!
It’s not only about the end product of the project and all the good that it may do, but it is also about the process and the friendships you build along the way.
