It is our pleasure to offer our Community Grant Program for 2024. This year we are focusing our support on a small number of organizations that not only request grant dollars but who can also provide our club with meaningful hands on service projects. Our grants will range from $4000 -$16,000. The service projects can be a single event or an ongoing activity. Among the objectives of the Community Grant Program to support projects that:
·Address humanitarian needs of an identified group of persons (low income, developmental disabilities, illiterate, young single parents, and so on) residing in or around the Glen Ellyn Community;
· Support new projects, specific needs (outside of the day to day operations) that will have an impact upon the target beneficiary community with funding a service hours.
· Enhance Rotary’s reputation as a service organization by possibly expanding our impact to efforts not previously addressed by the Club;
