Carbondale Rotary Grants

Carbondale Rotary Grants

The purpose of the Community Grants Program of the Rotary Club of Carbondale is to distribute funds raised through the annual Fireball Drop and other fundraising initiatives to Roaring Fork Valley nonprofit or not for profit organizations in a fair, efficient, and effective manner. The funds should address community needs including but not limited to education, health and human services, mental health, the environment, animal welfare, recreation, food security, seniors, and youth. We do not accept requests for individuals or unofficial groups. Please note grants are capped at $2,000 per organization per year.

• The Carbondale Rotary Club is a service organization centered around four basic principles: truth, fairness, good will, and benefit to all concerned.

• Scholarship Grants will be funded under a separate Rotary program.

• Grants will be determined by a volunteer committee of Rotary members.

• The Rotary club does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, or disability.

• Applications must coincide with the Rotary International goals of literacy, health, hunger, water management, mental health, and youth services.

Grant applications are due prior to May 31st each year in order to be eligible for matching District funds. After that, grant applications will be accepted only if local funds are available. Please note the Rotary budget cycle is July-June, so successful grants will begin receiving funds no earlier than July.
