Volunteer Service Grants support qualified Rotarians and their spouses traveling internationally to provide a needed service or plan a needed project in a community. Eligibility for travelers is based on:
- A defined community need
- A need that can be met by the team’s experience and skills
- An understanding that the skills and experience are not available in the community
The award is a flat grant of US$3,000 for an individual or $6,000 for a team of up to five members. A single project site may not benefit from more than one grant award at any given time. An individual volunteer may receive no more than two Volunteer Service Grants per Rotary year.
