Applications for 2016 grants from the Rotary Club of Norfolk are available now. The club will draw on its Norfolk Rotary Charities endowment and other donations to award grants of up to $2,000 to nonprofits working regionally in Hampton Roads or primarily in Norfolk. The deadline to apply is January 29, 2016. Click here for grant guidelines and an application. Both are posted to the club website. 

 

In 2015  the club awarded more than $27,000 to 19 area nonprofits working in arts, education, the environment and human services. The 2015 recipients are not eligible for 2016 funding, which will allow other organizations to benefit from Rotary support. Funding was provided by club members and other supporters who donated to the Norfolk Rotary Charities endowment and also from the club's "happy bucks" paid at luncheon meetings.
