Our Goal
The WASH Rotary Action Group Fund was launched to help Rotarians undertake improved water and sanitation projects through the Rotary Foundation. WASH Rotary Action Group encourages Rotary clubs to undertake water and sanitation projects that are more sustainable and well designed. Promoting water and sanitation projects amongst Rotary clubs and districts is in line with WASH Rotary Action Group’s mission and is why the fund was established.
How We Work
Before submitting a Global Grant project to the Rotary Foundation, Rotary clubs can send their completed application to WASH Rotary Action Group, simply clicking here and completing the application. WASH Rotary Action Group professional service team members (who are also qualified cadre members) with expertise in water, sanitation, and hygiene programs will conduct a review of the project application and provide suggestions about how to improve the quality of the project.
Once the suggestions are considered for the final application, WASH Rotary Action Group will contribute $2000 towards the project. These funds will be donated directly to the Rotary Foundation and earmarked to the specific Global Grant once the project has been approved by the Rotary Foundation.
Who Can Participate
In line with WASH Rotary Action Group’s mission, the WASH Rotary Action Group Fund is open to members of the WASH Rotary Action Group. If you are not a member, you can sign up HERE.
