*Non-Profits Invited to Apply for *

*$25,000 Amherst Rotary Community Grant*

* *

To strengthen its service impact in the local community, the Rotary Club of
Amherst (“RCA”) recently announced a new $25,000 Community Grant, which will
be awarded in the Spring of 2010.  RCA will use a competitive application
process to identify a single local civic project, or a project at a local
non-profit organization that will provide an important and
*sustainable*improvement to the quality of life in our community.



Organizations wishing to apply for this grant should submit complete
applications *as soon as possible and no later than February 28, 2010*.  We
expect to announce a grant winner in late April or early May 2010.  Please
click here to obtain an *Amherst Rotary Community Grant Application* with
complete instructions.  For any questions or suggestions, please email us at
grantinfo at AmherstRotaryClub.org.



All projects eligible for a Community Grant must:  (1) have an important and
sustainable community impact that continues long after grant funds have been
spent; and (2) directly benefit our local area, comprised of Amherst,
Belchertown, Hadley, Pelham, Leverett and Shutesbury.  Because of the
emphasis on sustainability, proposals to fund capital expenditures may tend
to be preferred over projects funding operating expenses.



RCA is planning the Community Grant as a new annual initiative *in addition
to the club’s ongoing giving and scholarship programs.*  Last year, RCA
donated about $24,000 to local non-profit organizations, international
humanitarian projects, and college scholarships to graduating local high
school students.  This new Community Grant program has been made possible
due to strong community support for the club’s fundraisers, including the
new Amherst Rotary Auction held each November on ACTV, which raised over
$32,000 this year, up from $26,000 in 2008 (its first year).  With the
continuing
success of the auction and other fundraisers (mainly the COVAC bicycle rally
and the Amherst Community Fair), RCA hopes to offer an Amherst Rotary
Community Grant each year, in addition to its ongoing giving and scholarship
programs.

The Rotary Club of Amherst is part of Rotary International, a 1.3 million
member, non-profit, global service organization that, through the Rotary
Foundation, is the world’s largest private provider of scholarships for
international study, and a major player in global health and humanitarian
initiatives.  Such initiatives include projects for the worldwide
eradication of polio (a cause to which Rotary has already contributed or
pledged about $750 million), as well as projects to improve literacy
and provide
access to clean water in developing countries.  For more information, please
