With a minimum budget of $30,000 and a maximum World Fund award of $400,000, the grants fund humanitarian projects, scholarships for graduate-level academic studies, and vocational training teams, which are groups of professionals who travel abroad either to teach local professionals about their field or to learn more about it themselves.
