Community Service Awards
Rotary Year 2024-25
Each Spring our club provides cash awards to deserving community projects. 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.
This year we have awarded a total of $7000 to five organizations, with $1400 going to each. These are:
Crossing Bridges Therapeutic Riding Center
Equipment for therapy riding lessons offered year-round in a covered arena. (boots, helmets, saddle pads, etc.)
Grants Pass Family YMCA
Acquire additional equipment and replace worn out equipment to increase participation in very popular indoor rock climbing.
Rogue River Institute
Offering camping and rafting experiences to individuals with disabilities, for transportation, food, campground fees, etc.
