The Rotary Foundation is described as the "Heart and Soul" of Rotary International. It operates through a new grant model that includes District Grants for local activities, Global Grants for long-term sustainable projects, and Packaged Grants. Grants must align with the Foundation's areas of focus, which include peace, disease prevention, water/sanitation, maternal and child health, basic education, and economic development. Application for both District and Global Grants must now be done exclusively online.
