Guidelines for Rotary Funding

The Rotary Club of Stratford receives numerous requests for funding. In fact the requests far exceed the financial resources of the Club. Therefore we measure each request against the long-standing priorities of Rotary as established over our 83-year history.

A) Regular funding: The Rotary Club of Stratford will support those organizations and agencies in our community that help those who are disadvantaged, focusing on the disabled, education, and youth.

B) Priority will be given to those projects which have no- or limited- access to other sources of funding.

C) Projects sanctioned by Rotary International warrant consideration, particularly as they affect the local community.

D) Pilot projects that will benefit the community in whole or in part will be considered for one-time start-up costs.

If your organization would like to submit a request for funding please include the following information in a letter:

1) Description of the project, including those who would benefit and how.

2) Estimated total cost or annual budget or business plan

3) Specific amount requested from the Rotary Club of Stratford

4) Other sources ( with amounts) of confirmed funding

5) Note on government funds available and which have been applied for- municipal, county provincial, federal

6) Donor recognition- how will Rotary’s contribution be acknowledged?

7) Contact person and phone/fax/email information

A member of Rotary’s Request committee will follow up your application with further questions, if needed.
