Dear Rotarians:

Congratulations! Your global grant application to help provide medical equipment for in-home and hospital treatment and support of palliative care patients as well as community outreach on palliative care associated with Nan Hospital in Nan Province, Thailand submitted by Rotary Club Nan and Rotary Club District 3462, has been approved by The Rotary Foundation. The award is in the amount of $41,500.

This letter serves as formal notification of your grant approval and explains what you must do to receive grant payment. It also contains important information for grant-funded travelers and links to additional resources.

Moving forward, my colleague Elizabeth Miller will assist you with the payment requirements process, including how to provide bank account information in the online system and confirming cash contributions. If you have any questions about your payment or providing cash contributions, Elizabeth can be reached Elizabeth.Miller@rotary.org  and +1 (847)-866-3096

Grant payment
To receive payment, please complete these steps:

1. Provide account information for the global grant bank account
2. Name two Rotarian signatories for the global grant bank account
3. Confirm all cash contributions

Once the above steps have been completed, you can expect to receive your grant payment in approximately two weeks. Grant payments are made based on the current Rotary International exchange rate at the time of payment.

Read on to learn more about each step:

1. Provide account information
With your grant partner, determine an appropriate location for the bank account that will receive payment from the Foundation. Sign in to My Rotary and navigate to the Grant Center to provide account information for the global grant bank account.

2. Name signatories
In the Grant Center designate two Rotarians who will act as signatories, overseeing payments made from the global grant bank account. Account signatories must be members of the sponsoring club or district.

3. Confirm cash contributions
Confirm all cash contributions that were committed for the financing of the global grant. Contributions can be confirmed in one of two ways:

1. Send the contributions to the Foundation. Use this contribution form to submit all cash contributions for your grant to the Foundation. Be sure to note the global grant number on the form. For faster service, click here to submit contributions online. Send any cash contributions as quickly as possible to reduce currency fluctuations between the time of contribution and time of payment. Note: In alignment with the Foundation’s funding model, if the grant application was submitted on or after 1 July 2015, you must contribute an additional 5 percent for cash contributions made to the Foundation to help offset processing and administrative costs.
2. Send the contributions directly to the global grant bank account. If cash contributions are sent directly to the global grant bank account, send confirmation of their deposit to the Foundation by supplying appropriate documentation (for example, a copy of a deposit slip or a current bank statement). Note: Paul Harris Fellow recognition is not awarded for contributions sent directly to the grant bank account. Contributions sent directly to the grant bank account do not need to include the additional 5 percent.
