Community Grant Opportunities
Supporting Local Ideas That Make a Difference

The Rotary Club of Citrus Heights welcomes grant requests for projects and programs that benefit the Citrus Heights community.

Local Support
Helping community organizations turn good ideas into action

The Rotary Club of Citrus Heights and its Club Foundation support charitable projects that address community needs and create meaningful local benefits.

Our local grant effort builds on a mini-grant program established in 2013. Today, eligible nonprofit and community organizations may submit requests for projects serving the Citrus Heights area.

Grant Guidelines
Who should apply?

Community Benefit
Strong applications clearly identify a local need, explain how the project will respond, and describe the people or community groups expected to benefit.
Rotary Participation
Preference may be given to projects that provide opportunities for Rotary members to participate or that involve collaboration with another Rotary club or community partner.
