Georgetown-Millsboro Rotary seeks community grant applications

Due by Oct. 31
September 10, 2018

The Georgetown-Millsboro Rotary Club is now receiving applications for community grants. 

The club awards these grants once a year. Money is derived from the club’s Flags for Heroes project each spring. Flags are displayed on The Circle in Georgetown, at the Delaware Tech Owens Campus in Georgetown, and in two Millsboro locations. 

For guidelines and application forms, go to www.georgetownmillsbororotaryclub.org and click on the Community Service tab.

Grants are awarded to programs that serve the Georgetown and Millsboro areas. Grant requests typically range between $500 and $5,000.

Beneficiaries must be IRS-recognized, tax-exempt, nonprofit organizations. Funds will be distributed first to organizations supporting programs that assist the disadvantaged and second to community service endeavors. 

Grants will not be awarded to individuals; political associations or candidates; organizations that provide funding to other organizations or agencies; organizations that discriminate by race, creed, gender, sexual orientation, age, religion, disability or national origin; or bricks-and-mortar and similar building/construction projects.

Grant applications are limited to two pages plus appropriate attachments. Incomplete applications will not be considered.  

The grants committee may recommend approval, defer or decline a proposal and/or suggest awarding an amount different from the original request based on the funds available. The board of directors will make final grant decisions 

Grant recipients will be required to submit a brief report within one year. Grants will be awarded on a one-time-only basis. Organizations may submit a new application in subsequent years.

The deadline is Wednesday, Oct. 31. Materials should be mailed to P.O. Box 164, Georgetown, DE 19947 or emailed to Committee Chairman Reid Beveridge at beveridgere@prodigy.net.
