• Small, Local Projects Funding application

  • The Rotary Club of Grays Thurrock raises money for local, national and international good causes.  We especially like to support local good causes so are actively requesting applications from local, small, sustainable projects.

    • By "Local" we mean the area covered by Thurrock, though we would consider others nearby if they support Thurrock residents

    • By "Small" we mean up to £500 but generally about £250

    • By "Sustainable" we mean projects that would ideally have a longer term impact on the area or residents.  However, we will also consider shorter term projects if we feel that it will have a good impact

    Your application will be assessed by our Service Projects Committee who make the decision on donations  It will then be authorised by the Members and we aim to inform you of the outcome within a couple of months.

    If you are successful we may invite your charity/organisation to a Club Meeting to officially receive your donation.

    If you wish to apply would you please complete this simple application form.  Please note there are no right or wrong answers and your application will not be affected if, for example, you do not have a website or are not a registered charity.  We are looking for good local projects to support, not the larger organisations who have professionals working for them.

    Should you have a larger project that you wish to put to us for funding please apply in your usual way as we do still look at such projects, just not via this simple application process.

  • We normally only fund charities or organisations. What category do you fall under*

  • You have selected Individual which does not mean we will not fund a project for you but please be aware we will only pay any funding to an organisation, not into your personal bank account.  For example - we would pay to a shop if you are purchasing something or to an organisation you are raising money for.

    Please continue with the form but give answers based on yourself not the organisation.

  • Thank you for assisting us by accepting a BACS payment direct into your account.  If you are successful we will ask for your Account Name, Sort Code and Account Number.  This will need to be your organisation's account or the account of the supplier of the goods or services being funded.

    This will be clearly explained if you are successful.
