Each year, The Rotary Foundation selects one large-scale, evidence-based, successful project to receive a Programs of Scale award. The 2025 grant recipient is Pathways to Peace and Prosperity in Colombia. This Rotary-led initiative will establish Positive Peace hubs in four urban and rural communities. The hubs will strengthen people’s capacity to resolve conflicts while addressing social exclusion, food insecurity, and poverty caused by prolonged violence and armed conflict.
Foundation Trustees also endorsed two finalists: Improving Maternal and Infant Care in Uganda and Mental Health Support for Youth in Florida (United States). The Rotary members who lead these programs are committed to expanding them through global grants. If your members want to learn more about these programs or support them financially, write to programsofscale@rotary.org.
