Dear Community Organization Member,
We are now accepting applications for our 2018 Community Grants Program. Last year, the Rotary Club of Alameda proudly awarded $19,700 to Alameda 501(c)(3) non-profits (see picture below). The funds for our Community Grant Program have been raised through our major community fundraising projects in addition to the generous support of the Alameda Rotary Endowment Foundation.
The funds awarded from the grant must serve Alameda residents, the grant must be used for programs that benefit Alameda residents in one of the following categories:
- Arts & Culture - performing arts, visual arts, museums
- Community Services - animal services, environmental, parks, quality of life services
- Essential Services - food, housing, medical, rehabilitation
- Youth and Family Services – youth programs
Funds are restricted to programs only, no administrative costs, and services exclusively delivered to Alameda residents. Evaluation criteria includes the number of Alameda residents benefiting from the program/project, impact on the mission of the organization and the direct connection between Rotary and the grant recipient. One application per organization may be submitted. Expenditure reporting may be required. Receiving this grant will not affect eligibility of any other grant programs awarded by the Rotary Club of Alameda.
Please download the application from our FORMS section, on the bottom left of this page, and complete it to the best of your ability. You may use TWO (2) additional pages in order to fully describe the program or project. Applications should be scanned and submitted electronically to Phong La, PHONGLA@GMAIL.COM, no later than Wednesday, November 7, 2018 at 5pm.
Grant recipients will be notified by Thursday, November 15th and the awards will be presented on Tuesday November 27th, 2018 (12-1:30pm) during our Awards Luncheon at the Grandview Pavilion (300 Island Dr. Alameda, 94502).
