The Rotary Club of Buffalo Grove is offering Community Grants to organizations that positively affect the Buffalo Grove community and its inhabitants. Grants will provide funding for projects and causes that contribute to the success of the local community, with the objective of making it a better place to live and work. One-time grants of up to $2500 are awarded for efforts that have the potential to provide visible, long-term, sustainable benefits for community members.

"The organizations that we fund with our grants are working toward having a real impact on the lives of real people in our community, who are so often underserved. It is our privilege to be in the position to support them,” said Deenie Pomilia, the grants committee chair.

The grant application can be downloaded at the following website address: https://clubrunner.blob.core.w...

Applicants must be organizations with a clear mission and a structured leadership. Charitable or non-profit organizations with a 501 (c)(3) designation are encouraged to apply, though this designation is not a requirement. Faith-based non-profit organizations may qualify, provided their proposed project is for the benefit of the entire community and not only for the members of their congregation or organization.

Projects must be initiated by the applying non-profit organization and contribute to Rotary's focus on community service projects and activities.

Applications are due by May 13, 2017. For more information, please contact Grants Committee Chair Deenie Pomilia at 847-533-6605 or grants@bgrotary.org. See more at: https://portal.clubrunner.ca/2.
