Grant Priorities
Projects meeting the needs of disadvantaged citizens – especially youth, disabled, and elderly – are preferred. Funds may be approved for programming that reaches out to new or different clients or a new program. Capital items will only be funded if depreciable and specific in nature.
Types of Grants
The Toledo Rotary Club Foundation funds two types of grants: traditional and transformational.
- Traditional Grants. Traditional grants are the most common grants funded, and typically each year the Toledo Rotary Club Foundation funds approximately 20 traditional grants. Traditional grants are limited to $10,000 per grant, except for grants in support of “camperships” which are limited to $750 per grant. Applicants may only apply for a grant one time during a Rotary fiscal year. Organizations receiving traditional grant funding may not apply for another grant within 2 years of receiving the grant.
- Transformational Grants. A Transformational Project is one that:
- Affects a broad sector of the community (local, regional or global)
- Has the overwhelming support of the Rotary Club of Toledo and has been designated and approved by the Club Board and Foundation Trustees,
- Is likely to be a multi-year commitment, and
- Has a sustainable goal of making a significant, long-term, positive impact.
