About our Club
Grants Pass Rotary started in January of 1924 when the President of the Medford Rotary Club along with several of its members met with local Grants Pass businessmen to discuss the formation of a local club. Over the years the Grants Pass Rotary Club has been distinguished by having some of the key people in the development of our area as members. As the town grew, so did Rotary. Today we have around 110 members representing a cross section of business and professional men and women of Grants Pass. The club has been a leader in community service projects as well as supporting the international aspects of Rotary through the Rotary Foundation.
Eradicating Polio
Rotary has been working to eradicate polio for more than 35 years. Our goal of ridding the world of this disease is closer than ever. Learn about the Rotary Global Polio Eradication Initiative.

Community Grants
Each spring, our club provides grants to local organizations. Generally, funds are awarded only for capital projects with a priority of benefitting children and to be completed within one year of the award. Maximum award is $1,500.00. Capital projects may include items such as program supplies (instruments, books, videos, etc.) but not salaries, rents, mortgages or debt retirements.
If your organization would like to apply for one of these grants, you may download an application using the button below. Follow the instructions on the form, and return it by mail by March 28.
