Rotary District 6270 Public Image Matching Grant

 
     

APPLICATIONS NOW BEING ACCEPTED

     The primary purpose of this matching grant is to increase the non-Rotarian public image of both the local Rotary Club or Clubs and Rotary International. It is intended to spur interest and ultimately action on increasing membership within those participating clubs and/or their communities.
 
 
      District 6270 will match funds (dollar per dollar) allocated up to $2500 per club or clubs if working jointly, but capped at a maximum of $25,000 of District Funding for all grants combined.   
 
     Applications will be accepted on a first come first served basis for eligible participating Club or Clubs. Funds will be dispersed as follows: 50% at initial approval and the remaining funds after paid receipts are submitted along with the final report no later than 12 months from the Grant’s acceptance. The District will notify all club or clubs of status within 30 days of submission.
