The Youngstown Rotary Foundation Community Grant Program will provide two categories of grant opportunities addressing one or more of Rotary International’s seven areas of focus:

 

 

Local non-profits are encouraged to submit a grant application.

 

A $10,000 Second Chance Community Impact Grant for Operational Support will be awarded to one non-profit organization whose mission focuses on second chances for offenders re-entering the community through education, mental health care, substance abuse treatment, job training, counseling and mentoring. General operating support is the working capital non-profits needs to sustain their day-to-day operations, enabling non-profits to build a strong and sustainable infrastructure to provide programs and services that will have the greatest impact.

 

A series of Community Program/Project Grants of $3,000 will be awarded to five (5) organizations supporting programs or projects that will make a significant, positive difference in the Youngstown community.

 

Interested applicants should review the full set of guidelines before applying.
