The Rotary Club of Syracuse has been involved in community service activities throughout its history.  Recently, Syracuse Rotary has provided over one hundred thousand dollars in financial support for numerous community projects through the Syracuse rotary Foundation, Inc.

 

At this time, we are seeking specific funding proposals from registered 501 (c) (3) community organizations based in Syracuse for the 2007 /2008 period.  We are seeking a major grant in the $10,000 to $15,000 range.

 

Our funding guidelines provide that funded projects usually involve applications for new programs, capital expenditures or startup projects.  Special consideration may be given to projects that will benefit children, literacy or education.  We will typically not support projects that primarily benefit persons outside of the City of Syracuse, general fund appeals, or that involve administrative, overhead or ongoing program costs, except for camperships.

 

If you have a specific project or need that you would like us to consider for funding, complete the enclosed application form.  All questions must be answered completely or an explanation must be given for any question which is unanswered.  You must break down the specific cost and specifications for each significant element of the project.  In some cases we may consider funding an important part of a divisible proposal.

 

We expect to review grant requests before the end of November.  Grant applications should be submitted on or before November 15, 2007 to the following address:

 

Rotary Club of Syracuse

Philanthropy and Charity Committee

c/o Jim Gladziszewski

Energy Automation, Inc.
