Rotary hopes to enhance long-term relationships with Rotary Peace Fellows by encouraging partnerships on peacebuilding and conflict prevention projects, including those funded by Rotary global grants. Peace fellows can gain a better sense of how to partner with Rotary clubs and districts by understanding how grant projects are initiated and funded. The purpose is for peace fellows to learn about this topic from Rotary staff and other peace fellows.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
• Grants go to Rotary districts and clubs only
• Lay the groundwork through relationship building
• Don’t be afraid to ask, but know who and how to ask
• After one project, it is easier to instigate others
• A grant project may be more work than you expect and
can take a long time to be approved
