Details:
The Toledo Rotary Club Foundation is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt, nonprofit corporation that serves as the primary community charitable arm of the Rotary Club of Toledo. Annual contributions to the Foundation are added to the Toledo Rotary Club Foundation Fund administered by the Greater Toledo Community Foundation. That fund is utilized to support grants for charitable and educational purposes, primarily in the Toledo and northwest Ohio areas.
The Foundation only considers projects and programs with community or international value, with a preference for those consistent with Rotary International’s seven areas of focus: promoting peace; fighting disease; providing clean water, sanitation and hygiene; saving mothers and children; supporting education; growing local economies; and protecting the environment. Among local projects, those that have an impact in the City of Toledo or throughout northwest Ohio are preferred. Priority will be given to collaborations among two or more partner organizations.
Foundation funding is made possible through the generous contributions of members of the Rotary Club of Toledo and its friends. The Traditional Grant process typically awards approximately 20 grants annually.
Competitive grant proposals must address one of the following areas:
- Community Services: Projects that impact the local community and make northwest Ohio a better place.
- Disability Services: Projects that support individuals in maintaining a lifestyle of their choosing, no matter their ability.
- International Services: Projects that have international or broader impact by advancing understanding, goodwill and peace. Grants that are more local in nature and specifically cover topics that promote peace are reviewed by the Peace Committee, a sub-committee of International Services.
- Vocational Services: Projects that provide mentoring and assistance for youth or adults in professions and trades.
- Environmental Services: Projects that strengthen the conservation and protection of natural resources, advance ecological sustainability and foster harmony between communities and the environment.
- Youth Services: Projects that directly impact local youth and their current challenges.
