Edina Rotary Foundation Accepting Applications for Grant Money

The Edina Rotary Foundation is accepting applications from nonprofit organizations in Edina and its contiguous communities for grants to be used for capital purchases. Applications are due Nov. 15.

Each year, the Rotary Club of Edina raises money at a fall fundraiser to support its projects and award grants. Each year, about $100,000 is raised for the Club’s service projects and local and international grants.

The Foundation’s Community Service – Local Funding Committee favors grant requests for projects that are tangible and self-perpetuating, will be completed in Edina or a bordering community, create partnerships with other organizations, provide benefits to many and can be leveraged over time.

After a grant application is submitted, it is assigned to a member of the committee for review. The committee makes recommendations to the Foundation’s Board of Directors, which makes the final decision on all awards. Award are expected to be made early next year.

Grant applications are available online at www.EdinaRotary.org or by contacting Director Ryan Wilson, ryan.wilson@tradition.bank or 952-806-6786. Completed applications should be completed online or emailed to Wilson.

This year’s Rotary International theme is ‘Imagine Rotary’ and we are committed to doing that through our many committees and volunteer projects. We have a large diverse membership of compassionate, thoughtful, and dedicated Rotarians who have made it a life priority to serve individuals and communities in both local and international settings. The reward of this service is time spent together with personal and professional purpose, development of leadership skills and the opportunity to experience international travel with friends and family. Please consider attending one of the Rotary Club of Edina’s meetings to learn more and get involved in giving back to our community.

In Service,

Joe Hayes, President
