Foundation Day Set for November 5

 
 
 

Rotary Foundation Global Grants Seminar:

Difference Makers

 
 
 
 
If you want to change the human condition for the better, then engage in a Rotary Global Grant (GG). Rotarians are committed to serving others above self and GGs are designed to help accomplish this goal through helping to eradicate poverty, diseases, illiteracy and malnutrition with sustainable solutions that leave a lasting impact on individuals and communities worldwide (RF Goals).  The Rotary Foundation is a source of monetary support along with the tools and staff to help get a GG up and running. This seminar will focus on using learning centered techniques to help engage participants in the learning process to deepen your understanding of what it takes to develop an idea into an actual grant and functioning project.  We encourage you to register early so we can plan for the number of participants.
