Volunteer Service Grants subsidise the travel of individuals or
small groups for qualified international humanitarian service in
Rotary countries for periods up to 60 days. This name change more
closely reflects the intention of the program and better defines
what The Rotary Foundation is funding. Whether the travel is to
Africa to help plan a project or to India to provide dental service,
the volunteer is serving a community.
In addition to the name change, the following list summarises other
changes:
- Only active Rotarians are eligible to travel. Spouses who are
not Rotary club members but who are qualified to serve may accompany
a team but may not serve as the team leader or travel without
a team.
- Minimum stay for direct service grants is 10 days at the project
site.
- The award is a flat grant with US$3,000 available to an individual
or $6,000 available for a team of up to five members.
- Applications must be received three months prior to departure
and be complete for approval two months prior to departure.
