Local Community Service Grants
In addition to the ongoing partnerships we share with our long time community partners, the Rotary Club of Tampa also offers annual grants to local non-profit organizations. Each summer, applications are available for programs that serve children and families. In the 2021-2022 club year our club awarded grants totaling over $108,000 to 21 worthy local causes.
It is an honor to support our community in this way.
Community Grant applications for 2022 are now closed.
Awardees will be notified at the end of October.
Grant awards range from $1,000 - $5,000 and considered based on funding availability, qualifications of the organization, and need/outcome for the community. Preference will be given to organizations who did not receive funding in the last grant cycle from The Rotary Club of Tampa.
To be considered, an organization must meet the following criteria:
• Organization must serve Hillsborough County Florida
• Organization is an Internal Revenue Code 501(c)(3) in good standing
Projects that meet the following criteria are the most desired:
• Projects that leverage dollars and/or people power
