• Global grants support larger projects with sustainable, high-impact outcomes in one of the six areas of focus.


Global Grants support large international activities

with sustainable high-impact outcomes in one or more of the six areas of focus

and have a long-term impact. Clubs and districts can either create their

own activities or sponsor packaged global grants
