The Proposal

• The Proposal is to sell the project concept and
shows the investigation and analysis that was
done:
– What are the specific needs? (Assessment results)
– Does the community want it?
– Will the community be involved in project execution?
– What are the expected outcomes?
– Will it be sustainable?

• The purpose is to show that the project is a good
one, with sustainable measurable results.
• Also, the Proposal is the basis for selecting
the projects to receive a DDF allocation.

Creating the Proposal
• Study the Proposal and Application Checklist
• Study the Proposal questions.
• Decide whether you or the Host Club Primary Contact
should write the first draft.
• Analyze the project thoroughly and objectively to develop
accurate answers.
• Answer the questions directly and concisely.
• At the Proposal stage, a detailed budget and funding
plan is not required.
• Get someone else to review the Proposal.


Key Proposal Questions

4. Community needs
6. How will the project meet those needs?
8. How will the benefitting community be involved?
9. Does the community want the project?
10. What Area(s) of Focus are addressed?
11. How does the project address Area(s) of Focus?
12. Immediate and long-term outcomes
13. Sustainability


Proposal – Next Steps

• Proposal approved for DDF by the
District 2452 Foundation Committee.
• Enter the Proposal via RI Member
Access.
• Proposal approved by TRF.

• On to the Application!


The Application

• The Application is to show that the
project is well-planned and will be
executed successfully.
• The project must not include any
assessment activities. This should have
been done to prepare the Proposal.


The Application – Two Parts

• Common Information
– Three person committee
– Budget summary
– Signatures
• Humanitarian Information
– Project Summary
– Rotarian Participation
– Cooperating Organization
– Project Planning
– Sustainability and Measurability


Project Bank Account

• An account dedicated to the project must be set
up.
– (An overseas USD account requires the bank to
name a US ―correspondent bank‖).
• Account may be set up and managed by either
the Host Club or the International Club.
• Two signatories are required, who must go the
project via RI Member Access and confirm their
assignment.


Collecting Pledged Money

• Pledges may be sent by Clubs and
Individuals directly to RI/TRF with the
proper form.
• But then the Primary Contact has a
hard time tracking pledge status.
• Recommendation: Collect all the
International pledges and send them to
TRF with a Multiple Donor Form(s).


Funding the Project

• The Rotary Fund receives the pledged
cash from the Host and International
sources.

• TRF wires the total of Cash, DDF, and RI
Match to the project account.

• The project is now ―Paid‖. The clock has
started!


Project Management

• It’s difficult when you are not the performing organization.
• Get a clear understanding and agreement in advance with the
Host Club on their responsibilities.
• Encourage the Host Club to use the document storage feature
of matchinggrants.org/global and the mailing list feature for
project communications.
• Show that you are interested and need information back here
frequently for informal reports. Keep in touch. Skype works.
• A visit to the project site is a great way to keep in touch.
• Follow up on due dates in advance.
• Stay current on reporting.


Global Grants Project Reporting

• A Progress Report is due 12 months after TRF funds
are disbursed, and every 12 months thereafter.
• The Final Report is due two months after completion of
project and includes an explanation of variances > 10%.
• Bank statements for all expenses are required for both
Progress and Final Reports.
• Reports are submitted online through RI Member
Access, completing the appropriate forms plus uploads.
• There are special reports for VTTs, Global Scholars, and
Microfinance projects.


Pitfalls to Avoid

• Sustainability plan not provided.
• Financing plan not based on actual pledges.
• Not providing required MOUs.
• Funds were not placed in separate bank account.
• Not getting signatures when needed.
• Uploaded bank statements not legible, or cannot be
matched to reported expenses.
• Late reports. Most frequent problem. Affects other
projects.


Congratulations!

• You and your Host Club have
completed your Global Grant Project.
• Now tell the world about it.
– Upload pictures and stories.
– Write a press release.
– Offer to do Club presentations
– Write the Rotarian.

Global Grant Example 1

• A district sponsors a scholar to another country to
enroll in a two-year master’s degree program in the
field of water management.
• The global grant covers the scholar’s expenses before
she departs—for example visa application,
participation in a regional outbound orientation
seminar for Foundation grantees, and airline ticket.
• The grant also covers the scholar’s expenses while
abroad—for example tuition, language training,
housing, food, and costs associated with her field
research and supplies while in India.



• Clubs and districts apply for a Rotary Foundation
Global Grant to help implement an international
malaria project that has been designed with support
from one of the Foundation’s strategic partners to
distribute bed nets and malaria treatments.
• The partner organization helps provide surveillance
and training in collaboration with Rotarians on the
ground who are distributing bed nets and training
people to use them in rural areas.


• A vocational training team of ten physicians travel to another
country to study how healthcare professionals treat foot injuries
resulting from various diseases.
• The global grant covers the team’s expenses before it departs—for
example visa applications, inoculations, participation in a regional
outbound orientation seminar for Foundation grantees, language
training, and airline tickets.
• The grant also covers the team’s expenses while abroad—for
example housing, food, supplies to construct the footwear, and
hosting the workshop.
• The district includes in the grant the cost for a reciprocal visit of a
vocational training team from the other country where they can
receive specialized training.


District Grant Example 1

• International travel for a local doctor to volunteer
at a clinic. The district has complete control over
the length of travel and who is qualified to go.
• Possible travelers could be non-Rotarians,
Rotarians, Rotaract members, spouses of
Rotarians, etc.
• The district will also have the flexibility to cover
any immunizations, visas, hotel costs, supplies
relating to the project.



• Scholarship for a student to attend a local
university. The district will be able to determine
the area of study, length of study term, and the
age and previous experience the scholar should
have.
• The scholarship could fund their travel, tuition,
books, and other school fees.



• Donating art supplies for an after-school youth
program.
• The district can choose to do this local project in
conjunction with a single club or as a district wide
project.
• They will also be able to provide $500 worth of
supplies or $15,000 worth of supplies, depending
on how the district chooses to use these funds.



• Send Shelter Box containers in response to
natural disaster in another district.
• The district may have initially earmarked funds for
an after school program.
• After learning about a recent disaster, the district
can change its original plans and use that funding
to respond to the disaster.



• Support a district project funded primarily by the
clubs.
• Rotarians from several Rotary clubs in the district
work together to develop a water project in a rural
village and have raised some funding on their own
but need a small amount more to complete the
project and purchase the necessary equipment.
• The district distributes some of their district grant
funds to the clubs involved to complete this small
humanitarian project in their district.



• Hold a professional exchange with another district
similar to the current Group Study Exchange
program.
• The district could select participants to travel
based on their own requirements and use district
grant funds to purchase the airfare and other
travel-related expenses.
• The district might also choose to use these funds
to bring a team from another district as part of the
exchange.

Global Grant Project
Project Title: Supplying Clean Water to Fradees
Village in Zgharta
Project Area: Fradees Village in Zgharta is in the
North part of Lebanon.

Total Project Amount: $55,250
Project Description: Fradees is a village located between
the provinces of Zgharta and Becharre. The village has a
population of 500, dealing with raising livestock and partially
agriculture. The village had very insufficient amount of water
which was being collected in a 45-years-old tank and given
to the village two times a day for periods of 30 minutes.


• The water needed for the cows and sheep was carried by
tanks from a small and dirty river, which is located 5 km
away from the village.
• There are two springs in the northwest of the village, in
4.6km distance. This project aimed to bring the water from
these two springs to the village and supply discharge of
0.7lt per second to be used by 500 people and 200 cows
and 700 sheep.
• The currently available amount of water was extremely
insufficient for the people living in the village.
• Moreover the water need of the livestock could not be
supplied, which is very important for financial development
of the village.


• This project would supply and completely recover the
need of bringing water, which would also be useful for
the public health, to the village.
• On the other hand, villagers would save a considerable
amount of time, whereas they are currently spending for
fetching water.
• Successfully completion of this project helped villagers
to spend more time for their economical activities. If
needed, all required repairs will be funded by the
Municipality.
• The project has been completed succesfuly and closed.

Project Title: Majdel Achieving Healtier Drinking
Water Groundwork Project.
Project Area: Majdel is a village in Mont Lebanon

Total Project Amount: $60,250
Project Description: The villagers are residents of Majdel,
which consists of 375 houses. Some of the residents are
living abroad but staying in Majdel in summers. The
population of permanent residents, which stands for 280
houses, are 750. In summer, this number reaches up to
3000. This project will supply and completely recover the
need of drinking water, which will also be useful for the public
health, to the village.

Majdel Water Project
• What was the problem?
– A 50 year old water supply system providing water to
village of 500-3000 (seasonal residences). Original
construction of Eternit reinforced concrete pipes, now
cracked and failing. The results were:
• High incidence of cancer
• High loss of water due to leakage
• Infusion of ground living bacteria and
diseases
• Insufficient water pressure to serve all
houses in village


Majdel Water Project
• What was the solution?
– Install 12000 meters of 10 cm High Density Poly
Ethylene water pipe (the current world standard) to
replace the failing pipe. Integrate with existing valves,
where possible, additional valves and pipes to serve
added houses in village.
– Get local cooperation and participation with
equipment, design, on-site supervision. Coordinate
with seasonally available labor (volunteer & paid)
