Winnetka-Northfield Rotary Charitable Foundation
Community Grant Application
Complete the form below to apply for one of our annual community grants.

The Winnetka Northfield Rotary Charitable Foundation annually provides monetary grants to organizations that further Rotary’s mission to provide service to others, promote integrity, and advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace.

Applications are accepted each year from October 1st until December 31st. Grant awards are announced in March by our board. Grants typically range in size from $1,000 to $5,000. Recipients are eligible for only two awards within a three year period.

Areas of Focus: Our board is open to reviewing grant applications from any 501(c)(3) organization that has a club member sponsor. Preference will be given to organizations that meet one or more of the following criteria:

Support people living in need in Chicagoland, especially New Trier Township
Have operating budgets under $1 million
Request funding for programs, not general operating expenses

While these areas of focus will guide the board’s decision making, the board may award grants to organizations that meet none of this criteria but have a strong club sponsor and compelling case for support.
