The Rotary Club of York has announced the availability of approximately $20,000 in grants for York County 501(c)3 organizations which directly impact underprivileged, abused, neglected or handicapped children and youth.  The area of focus for this year’s grants is ABUSE OR EXPLOITATION OF CHILDREN.  The club is looking for creative and innovative applications in this area. 

 

The Rotary Club gives for a specific program or project.  It does not offset general overhead expenses, salaries, or capital fund drives. Program grants will be awarded in the $2,000 - $10,000 range with special consideration for larger grants up to $15,000.   

 

NEW for this year, an INFORMATION SESSION will be offered for organizations to attend prior to completing the application to better prepare the application, select appropriate project, and provide opportunities for possible collaboration between organizations.  This will be held on Wed. Jan 15, 2020 from 4:00 – 5:00 pm at the Cultural Alliance office (14 W. Market St. York).  Rotarians Glenn Smith and Kelley Gibson will provide the information.
