Ukraine / War in Europe Humanitarian Relief
Who can apply: Clubs submit a funding application to the Zuwendungsausschuss and must follow the specific relief guidelines and handover confirmation process.
Deutsche Rotarische Stiftung (via Rotary Deutschland Gemeindienst/RDG) primarily funds Rotary-aligned international humanitarian and development work, with a strong emphasis on peacebuilding, disease prevention, water and sanitation, maternal and child health, and basic education. It also supports scholarships, rapid disaster relief, and the administration of larger public-development grants, especially where German Rotary clubs and districts are involved. The organization is distinctive for combining grantmaking with hands-on project administration and trustee support rather than operating as a conventional open-call foundation.
Mostly program-based and Rotary-network-driven giving: larger multi-year Global Grants, smaller District Grants, scholarship support, and rapid-response humanitarian aid. Funding is often administered through German Rotary clubs/districts or as a legal/financial partner for BMZ/EU-backed projects; some programs have annual internal deadlines such as March 31 for next-year project submissions.

Expect a Rotary-partnered process rather than an open general application. German clubs/districts should submit project proposals early—especially by March 31 for BMZ/EU-related support—and applicants should align closely with Rotary’s priority areas and be prepared for administrative due diligence, financial reporting, and trustee-style project management.
