Grant Description
Grants of up to $10,000 to California nonprofit organizations in eligible areas for projects that benefit the community. Applicants are required to submit a letter of intent prior to applying. Special consideration will be given to projects for which the funding source can be the primary funder. Projects must benefit the communities of Palo Alto or East Palo Alto.
This year, proposals are welcome that address COVID-related impacts on your organization, as well as programs that address diversity, equity, or other social justice needs in the community.
- Applicants must be a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
- You are encouraged to request funding for a specific program or project rather than general, unspecified support. The Foundation is especially interested in projects for which they can be the primary funder.
- While not necessary, the committee also encourages proposals that include an opportunity for active participation by Rotary Club members (a one-time activity such as a work or clean-up day or more ongoing work, such as tutoring, mentoring, providing consulting help, etc.)
Ineligible
No grants will be made that benefit only one or a few individuals.
