Brewfest 2025 Major Beneficiary Nominations Now Being Accepted

 

Last year’s Brewfest was a momentous success, and we were able to donate $10,000 to the Portage Lake District Library’s expansion of the Teen Room and programs. This allowed the library to fill a critical need in our Community, especially with after-school programing.  This year our featured beneficiary is the Copper Shores Meals on Wheels program where we will partner on their project of a needed produce washing station. This station will allow this important food program to grow and expand and significantly improve operations by being able to wash quickly and safely, process, and store fresh produce from our local farmers and growers in a timely manner. Food that is grown locally will be delivered to their kitchen by local food producers and processed immediately, then will be served to our senior community within 1-3 days of harvesting or will be packaged for future use within the senior meal program.

 

Rotary’s featured beneficiary partners are charitable organizations and charitable activities designated by the Rotary Club of Houghton, Michigan in a manner consistent with Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

Nominations will be accepted via the Club Foundation’s grant application process. Houghton Rotary Club & Foundation seek applications that are significant community projects that will make a noticeable impact on the quality of life of community members and/or enhance/develop an important aspect of the community.

Grants will be awarded based on their alignment with the purpose of the Rotary Club of Houghton Foundation, Inc. Examples include organizations, churches, schools, NGOs (non-governmental organizations).

 

Grant applications for nomination can be downloaded or obtained from any Houghton Rotary Club Rotarian. The deadline for application submissions is June 30, 2024.

 

Please join us at the downtown Houghton Waterfront Pier on Saturday, July 27^th 1-5pm for this year’s event!
