Marbella-Guadalmina shows the way at TRF event
The Rotary Foundation (TRF) is Rotary's own and only charity that has spent over $3 billion in the last 100 years on sustainable, life changing projects. Rotary Clubs must navigate a strict application process to obtain access to TRF funds for their projects. At a recent seminar in Malaga, Marbella-Guadalmina's application for a Global Grant was used as a notable example of how to achieve this. The Grant was for the Hagamos las Paces project - a peer mediation programme in Colombia.

Below, slides from the presentation by Juan Ballester, President of the TRF in the District, and a past Governor. He used the project as a example of how to make an application for Global Grant.
To be approved, your application must clearly describe how your project, scholarship, or vocational training team:
- Is sustainable — include plans for long-term success after the global grant funds have been spent
- Includes measurable goals
- Aligns with one of Rotary's areas of focus
- Responds to real community needs
- Actively involves Rotarians and community members
- Meets the eligibility requirements in the grants terms and conditions
Martina Spann presented Juan Ballester with honorary membership of the Medellin Club. As always, the event included a celebratory lunch!
