Rotary International District 1190 Trust Fund
About This Funder
The Rotary International District 1190 Trust Fund, part of the global Rotary network, channels its capital and income to relieve poverty and support charitable causes as directed by district meetings in Cumbria and Lancashire, England. Rooted in Rotary's ethos of "Service Above Self," volunteerism, integrity, fellowship, and global citizenship, it advances community development, education, health, and international goodwill through flexible, responsive grant-making led by local Rotary volunteers. Distinctive for its integration within the Rotary framework, it mobilizes resources swiftly for both local needs and overseas aid, prioritizing projects aligned with Rotary values.
It funds a broad array of initiatives, including poverty relief, education and training, health and lifesaving efforts, disability support, housing, environmental conservation, economic and community development, employment, services for children, youth, elderly, and disabled people, plus aid to other charities. Support targets direct services via Rotary-led projects—local or international—such as community services, disaster relief, health programs, and educational efforts, encompassing revenue, small capital items, and one-off project funding.
Eligibility is strictly limited to qualified Rotary clubs in District 1190 (Cumbria and Lancashire), which must complete an annual Memorandum of Understanding, training, and submit an online District Grant Application Form; external charities or individuals cannot apply directly but may partner. No income or size restrictions apply to clubs, with no religious barriers.
Grants typically range from £500 to £3,000, awarded annually after district review, with the next deadline on 25 April 2025 for the following Rotary year. Exclusions include core costs, unrestricted funding, large multi-year projects, and unsolicited applications, setting it apart as a club-centric, volunteer-driven funder for Rotary-aligned, impactful causes.
