GRANTS
The Colesville Rotary Community Foundation was established to build a community fund that can generate financial support for Colesville nonprofit efforts today and in the future. The goal is to grow the Foundation year by year through donations and careful management, thereby increasing the amount available for grants each year.
​
​
Coming in 2026...
The Colesville Rotary Community Foundation expects to offer its first grant cycle during the first half of 2026.
Grants will be made to Town of Colesville nonprofit programs through an application process to be announced. Awards will be based on:
· Funds available
· How the request fits with the Foundation's areas of focus
· Strongest proposals
· Greatest needs
​
The Foundation's focus areas are aligned with the Colesville Rotary Club's work. Grant areas are:​
​​
· Help for the less fortunate
· ​Education for all ages
· Children and youth
· Arts and culture
· Quality of life
​
The Foundation's grants committee will collaborate as appropriate with other Colesville funders, including the Whitney Titus Fund. Grant decisions will be made by a committee of the Board of Directors and approved by the full Board, which will be named in late 2025.
​​​
​​Grant applicants must be nonprofit organizations, programs, or projects located in the Town of Colesville and/or serve the people in the town of Colesville. Applications and more information will be available in early 2026.

The Colesville Rotary Community Foundation does not give grants or donations to individuals or for-profit entities.
