Fall Grant applications are due Monday, October 31, 2022.
We encourage non-profit community organizations and educators whose work aligns with our mission as Rotarians to apply for a grant from the Rotary Club of Livermore Valley. We are grateful to be able to extend our reach into the community by partnering with our grant recipients.
Each fall and spring, the Rotary Club of Livermore Valley invites local organizations and schools to seek grant funding that will support efforts that align with our mission as Rotarians. Our grant awards are typically in the $300 - $1,000 range and fund items and projects that will make a positive difference in the lives of children and/or adults in our community.
We consider the following criteria when we evaluate applications:
- Program was not funded in the previous fiscal year.
- Program is self-sustaining with other funding (not reliant on RCLV) .
- Grant request is for a tangible item.
- Project serves the Tri-Valley Community.
- Preference is given to communities such as youth, seniors, veterans, or low income groups but not to the exclusion of other well-deserving projects.
In addition:
- Applicant must be sponsored by a Rotary Club of Livermore Valley member. Please contact us if you need a sponsor; a list of available members will be provided. This will help you to write a better grant application.
- If you are applying as an applicant from the Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District (LVJUSD), please obtain and submit an approval from your principal or other administrator.
- A budget for the proposal must be included.
We do make grants to educators, with the understanding that the funding supports projects in local classrooms and schools. Grants are made to organizations, not individuals, with rare exceptions.
For education related grant applications, The Rotary Club of the Livermore Valley will share information with the Livermore Valley Education Foundation (LVEF) to determine eligibility for LVEF and/or RCLV funding. Application information will then be shared with Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District to determine if there is funding through the District that would replace or augment an RCLV or LVEF grant award.
