Criteria for measuring all requests are as follows:
  1. Priority will be given to youth-oriented grant proposals, although other proposals will be considered.
  2. Proposed projects and the organizations proposing them should have broad community impact.
  3. Requests for new programs or capital expenditures will be given priority over general operating expenses.

    • If Elkhart Rotary Club has ever funded other projects for organization, how many years and amount(s) given
    • Sources of other funding/commitments for your organization
