GRANTS – World Community Service (WCS)

Every year, Palo Alto Rotary Club PARC’s World Community Service WCS committee approves and oversees the club’s international projects.  We are currently accepting small grant applications through September 18, 2026.  Please forward this WCS Small Grant Application form to any of your friends or colleagues who may be interested in applying for a grant.

 

This year our Small Grants will fund another 8-12 international projects in developing countries, ranging from $1,000 - $5,000 each, in addition to a larger “District 5170 Grant” and “Global Grant” through the Rotary Foundation.

 

We are looking for projects aligned with Rotary’s 7 Areas of Focus (our work | download) with high impact and active beneficiary engagement, measurable outcomes, sustainability, and a strong partnership with a local host Rotary Club. Priority regions are Guatemala, India, Ukraine, and Thailand but others will be considered.
