The Geneva Rotary Club is inviting local organizations and agencies to apply for grants supporting community programs and activities.
Applications are now being accepted for grants of up to $1,000. The deadline for submission is May 16, and late applications will not be considered. Decisions on awards will be announced after June 9.
Rotarians raise money for the grants through a variety of community projects. Since 2007, the Geneva Rotary Foundation, Inc. has awarded more than $200,000 to local programs, events, and activities.
Grant applications will be evaluated based on a set of priorities. First, proposals must align with the Rotary 4-Way Test, asking if the project is the truth, fair to all concerned, builds goodwill and better friendships, and is beneficial to all concerned. Proposals that serve Geneva youth will receive the highest priority, with preference given to projects impacting the most young people. Next in priority are proposals that benefit the broader Geneva community, again favoring initiatives that serve more people. Finally, projects that impact the wider regional community will be considered, prioritizing proposals that reach larger groups.
Grant application guidelines and evaluation criteria are available at the Geneva Rotary website, www.genevarotaryclub.org. Completed applications or questions should be emailed to [email protected].
