Grant program
The Youngstown Rotary Foundation has allocated two types of grants for the 2023-2024 Rotary Year. Local nonprofits are encouraged to submit a grant application.
Community Impact Grants for Operational Support of up to $20,000 will be awarded to support a nonprofit organization’s mission rather than specific projects or programs. General operating support is the working capital nonprofits needs to sustain their day-to-day operations, enabling nonprofits to build a strong and sustainable infrastructure to provide programs and services that will have the greatest impact.
Community Program/Project Grants up to $5,000 will be awarded to organizations supporting programs or projects that will make a significant, positive difference in the Youngstown community.
The 2023-2024 grant cycle is open from Oct. 15, 2023 through Dec. 15, 2023.
For grant applications, see here. For grant guidelines, see here. To submit an application, and for questions, email Yo**************************@gm***.com. A confirmation email will be sent when an application is received. All applicants will be informed of the Youngstown Rotary Foundation decisions after Dec. 15, 2023.
