The application for the 2026 Programs of Scale award is open! The US$2 million Programs of Scale grant may be awarded each year to an evidence-based program that is ready to expand over three to five years to increase its impact in one or more of Rotary’s areas of focus. Applicants should be qualified Rotary and Rotaract clubs and districts that have long-term plans to work with other organizations to expand programs that are already successful.

Learn more about the application process and previous Programs of Scale grant recipients. You can find more details about applying, including the requirement to secure at least US$500,000 in cash from entities other than Rotary members, clubs, and districts, in Rotary’s Programs of Scale Grant Competition Handbook.

Concept notes are due on 1 August 2025.
