Grant Management Seminar
GRANT MANAGEMENT SEMINARS (GMS)
To participate in Rotary Foundation Programs including Global and District Grants during Rotary each year, a club is required to become certified/re-certified and accomplish the following four tasks:
- Each club President-Elect and Foundation Chair, or their representatives, are required to complete a district-sponsored Grant Management Seminar (GMS) or the myRotary.Org Learning Center online course. District sponsored courses are offered in the January and February timeframe each year.
- Club president and president-elect must each sign a Club Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) per The Rotary Foundation. This document includes a the TRF MOU and the District 7120 Addendum to the MOU.
- Each club must adopt the document retention and financial management policies required by the MOU.
- Clubs must have donated $35 average per capita in the previous Rotary year in order to be able to submit an application for a Global or District Grant.
- Clubs must enter an Annual Fund goal in myRotary.org
- Each club’s president-elect or their designate must attend a President-Elect Leadership Seminar (PELS). Our District offers a no-fee seminar each year, but you may attend any seminar offered in another district.
If you decide to take the GMS course on the myRotary.org website, here are the instructions.
- Sign into "My Rotary" at Rotary.org (You may create an account if you do not already have a My Rotary account.)
- Click on "Learning & Reference" header at mid-top of the page, then "Learning Center," then "The Rotary Foundation" View box.
- A list of courses will appear. At the left on the 2nd row of courses, click on "Grant Management Recertification" or "Grant Management Seminar."
- Enroll in one of these courses. The Recertification Course is only for those who completed the online course last year, and NOT for those who completed a live or Zoom District course in the past.
The Grant Management Seminar has 9 modules. Each module has a learning test at the end.
Upon completion of the "Grant Management Seminar", or "Recertification Seminar," you will be able to print a completion certificate for each module and for the entire course. Please email only the entire course certificate to Kent Gilges at kgilges7@gmail.com.
