The Rotary Club of Oshawa invites submissions for grants to fund local (Oshawa area) community service projects, and specific need requests from community members and local charities.
 
We will consider projects that specifically align with our service project priorities:
  • Respond to real issues
  • Improve community members’ lives
  • Incorporate the abilities of those who are served
  • Recognize the contributions of all participants as important and necessary
  • Are based on a realistic assessment of available resources
  • Aim for specific goals and objectives with measurable results
  • Build effective networks
  • Empower people and communities
 
We are especially interested in funding projects and specific needs that pertain to Oshawa youth education & empowerment.
 
 
Hints:
- We are looking for the project to be either a significant ENHANCEMENT to a current program/project, or something NEW that is above and beyond the everyday
- BE CLEAR and CONCISE - applications that are brief, to the point, and CLEAR generally make the most compelling case and are easiest to recommend for funding.
- BE CREATIVE - Projects that are unique, creative, innovative, exciting, fun, or interesting are the ones that capture the Board’s imagination.
- DETAILED BUDGETS are important - it must be clear as to how much your total project will cost, how a grant from The Rotary Club of Oshawa will assist, and where additional funds, if required for your project, will be obtained. An itemized listing of where the money will be spent is also required. Ensure that it is absolutely clear as to where grant fund portion will be spent.
 
 
**Please review your budget carefully to ensure that your project will not be used for the following:
 
  • to cover deficits or to retire debts
  • for fundraising activities or campaigns
  • for programs already funded by another organization or grant
  • for salaries or employee-related expenses.
 
All applications are welcome and appreciated. However, due to limited funds available, some projects will not receive funding and others will receive partial funding. We thank all participants for their interest and effort. We will notify successful funding requests within 3 business days of our meeting. Please be advised that we may ask for additional information before funding any project.
