  2. Authorization: Club and District leaders review the application and authorize funding.

  3. Submitted: The grant's planners submit the application to The Rotary Foundation.

  4. Approved: If the grant is approved, TRF issues payment.

  5. Completion: Members carry out the project, reporting to the Foundation annually, until the work is completed and a final report is submitted.
