Sponsor a Factory

Factories can be started with the assistance of matching grants from Rotary Clubs.  Each club wanting to participate in starting a factory works with a partner club in the developing world. These two clubs work together to raise the money for a factory, find a local entrepreneur who wishes to own and operate a stove factory, and assist with factory development.

Funds from both individuals and foundations are submitted through a local Rotary club to be matched by one of these grants.

Clubs can participate in a number of ways. They can sponsor an entire factory, make donations to another club or Rotary District that is sponsoring a factory, or can encourage their members to make individual donations to StoveTeam International.

StoveTeam has volunteers who help with grant writing for stove factories and a sample grant for your perusal. Please contact us with any questions. The items below may be useful.
