The Rotary Club of Appleton is pleased to make available grants from Rotary Shines, our major spring fundraiser, and from the Community Service Fund. Grants from the Community Service Fund will total $2939 this year. Rotary Shines funds are estimated at $10,000 but will vary depending on the success of our 2012 fundraiser. You are encouraged to apply for either source of funding, or both. Both grants support local community needs, and may provide members of the Rotary Club of Appleton with volunteer opportunities. The following guidelines will help you determine if you qualify for funding from these sources:
• Grants will be given to organizations designated as 501c(3).
• The project must serve/benefit residents of the Appleton area.
• Capital Projects (“bricks and mortar”) will not be funded.
• Annual campaigns will not be funded.
• Funds may serve as seed money for projects.
• Funds will be committed for only one year at a time, but may be awarded up to three consecutive years.
• Please do not request funds for ongoing operational expenses.
Requests for both grants must be received by October 14, 2011. Rotary’s Community Service Committee will determine recommendations for recipients of both grants at one meeting. Applications can be found on our website.
