Basic Education and Literacy Guidelines for Global Grant Funding
Abstract: Rotary is dedicated to six areas of focus to build international relationships, improve lives, and create a better
world. Through global grants, awarded by The Rotary Foundation, clubs and districts participate in strategically
focused, high-impact activities in these areas.
All global grant activities are required to align with the goals of an area of focus. For basic education and literacy,
the goals are:
1. Involve the community to support programs that strengthen their capacity to provide basic education
and literacy to everyone
2. Increase adult literacy
3. Work to reduce gender disparity in education
4. Support basic education and literacy studies for career-minded professionals
