Important Notes
You don’t need a professional grant writer; you know the answers to the questions!
Be original and creative; repeat of recently funded project will not be considered.
You know your community and its needs. You know what your club is passionate about. What project will best impact your community and meet your club’s mission?
Club may submit no more than two applications designated primary and secondary. Funding for both will be unusual.
