MatchingGrants.org is a free resource used by Rotarians worldwide to administer humanitarian projects. While the global grants work just like Matching Grants did for the past 12 years, the new district grants feature manages the internal process clubs use to apply for District Designated Funds for their projects with detailed reports and electronic signatures as well as serving as a repository for documents and reports.
