Children with Disabilities Grants

The Children with Disabilities Committee of the Rotary Club of Appleton is again ready to entertain applications for grants from the Helen Thom Roemer Fund. This Fund was created in 1941, and each year provides money for projects or programs that benefit children with disabilities within a 50-mile radius of Appleton. The Fund is managed by the Appleton Rotary Foundation and administered by the Community Foundation for the Fox Valley Region, Inc. Typically, we have between $20-25,000 to distribute each year, and that normally is divided among eight to ten not-for-profit organizations. As you may know, trust limitations generally prohibit using these funds for employee salaries or general operating funds. For more information or an application, please click here.
