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.

International Service
Arusha, Tanzania
Our club has sent a $2500 contribution to the “Lifted Strong Community Organization: (LISCO). Their core mission is to advocate for and support women from Tanzania, who have faced unimaginable hardships – battling HIV, domestic violence, poverty, and poor health. They believe in giving these resilient women a chance at a better life. Founded in early 2019 by two remarkable women, Eva and Joyce, LISCO emerged from a powerful vision to challenge the status quo. Witnessing the pressing need for education, empowerment, and advocacy among women in the Arusha region, they took a bold stand. They support 10-13 women in the program each year, and so far have supported 40 women. They teach English, health, business, math, kills and mentorship.
The funds provided by our club have purchased a color printer and scanner, a desk top computer, a laptop computer, a projector, classroom and office chairs, a sewing machine, and a laminator.

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.
