Public relations grants help districts promote Rotary to the general public and enhance Rotary’s public image. Over the last three years, Rotary International has awarded US$6 million in PR grants worldwide and received more than $31 million in complementary in-kind public relations and advertising space, indicating a strong return on Rotary’s investment.
PR grants enable districts to place television, radio, print, outdoor billboard, and web public service announcements in their local communities. Grants are awarded on a competitive basis.
