Nanticoke Rotary Club Grant
The Nanticoke Rotary Club has established the following Grant guidelines for 2020.
“The mission of Rotary International is to provide service above self; therefore, as a member of Rotary International, the Nanticoke Rotary Club strives to improve and enhance the lives of families, youth, and children within our community by stabilizing and enriching their future.” Families, as we define, also include senior citizens.
On an annual basis the Nanticoke Rotary Club will award grants from its Foundation fund to any “Nonprofit” organization on the Delmarva Peninsula, with particular emphasis given to Western Sussex County. All applicants within the Delmarva region will be considered by the Foundation Committee.
The application process will open on January 1, 2020 and close on March 15, 2020. Grants will then be awarded in the month of April. A representative from each winning organization must attend our award dinner to receive the grant.
Each year The Nanticoke Rotary Club will pull 5% from the principle of its Foundation Funds managed by The Community Foundation which will then determine the total funds available for grants. Based upon the number of applications received, the individual grant amounts for each year will be determined on the need of each applicant. The maximum request per applicant is set at $5,000. No organization can be awarded on consecutive years.
Organizations receiving The Nanticoke Rotary Club Grant must serve the state of Delaware and its residents without discrimination based on religion, race, gender, age, disability, national origin or sexual orientation.
