Community Grants
Each year the Rotary Club of Doylestown presents grants, up to $5,000, to local nonprofit organizations.
Community organizations may submit proposals that provide services which benefit the citizens of Doylestown & the surrounding communities. The grants may be used for capital improvements or the implementation of an activity, but may not be used to supplement payroll for existing staff. Each organization may submit one request. Grant requests can be submitted Jan-Feb of each year. The Doylestown Rotary evaluates all grant requests and the selected recipients are presented a check in April at the annual "Four Way Test" awards breakfast. The Request for Proposal form can be obtained in the download section on the home page of this web site.
