Community Grants

 
Purpose: Rotary International is an organization of business and community leaders who provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations and help build goodwill and peace in the world. To achieve that end, Pleasanton Rotary seeks to support the human service needs of our community.
 
Grant applications will be reviewed with the following considerations:
 
  • What is the lasting impact of the project?
  • Is one of our club members a champion of the project?
  • What is the level of involvement of our club?
  • How will our Rotary Club and its mission gain visibility?
  • Is there another organization to partner with for funding this project?
  • Are there other funding sources to extend the impact of our grant?
The Rotary Club may also consider grants that do not meet these principles on an exception basis, at the discretion of the board.
