Each year since 2021, The Rotary Foundation has awarded one Programs of Scale grant for up to $2,000,000. Applicants face stiff competition from numerous worthy applicants. Concept notes are due August 1st for the 2025 competition. A new requirement for this year is that applicants must secure cash contributions from one or more non-Rotary program partners totaling at least $500,000. (I told you this was for the ambitious!)
Past recipients were:
- 2021: Partners for a Malaria-Free Zambia, a malaria elimination program to reduce cases of malaria, particularly for pregnant women and children under 5 – in ten districts in two provinces in Zambia. It is reaching 1.2 million people
- 2022: Together for Healthy Families in Nigeria, fostering the health of mothers and newborns, is working to reduce maternal and neo-natal mortality rate by improving health seeking behavior and quality care for pregnant women, mothers, and newborns in Nigeria
