Thanks to a generous bequest from the late Lon Edwards, who lived in Lancaster, Lancaster Rotary Club announces its second year of grant-making from the income generated from this fund. The Club expects to make up to $25,000 of grants to worthy tax-exempt organizations, governments, and religious organizations.

 

Grant recipients from last year’s first grant program included Whitefield Public Library, Mount Royal Academy, Pink Revolution, WMRHS Society of Sustainable Spartans, Lancaster Historical Society, Northern Forest Center, and Heartwood Public Charter School.  SEE BELOW!

 

Applicants may submit online applications starting now up through May 15, 2023. Applications will be rated and awards determined by a committee of Rotarians with final announcement of grantees by June 30, 2023, and disbursement of funds in July.

 

Qualifying applicants should outline proposals that help our communities in a tangible or measurable way, with special consideration to projects that align with Rotary International’s seven areas of focus:

 

 

Organizations seeking grants should describe the goals and expected outcomes of the proposed project, provide a detailed implementation plan and project budget, and comment about how the initiative will be sustained in future years in the absence of additional grant funding.
