In 1966, the Birmingham Rotary Club, in an effort to expand its ability to perform charitable work, created the Birmingham Rotary Club Endowment Fund. Grants are awarded to other charities and/or directly to worthy individuals or causes that fall into Rotary's seven areas of focus:
- Prevention and resolution of conflicts and the promotion of peace
- Prevention and treatment of disease
- Clean water and sanitation
- Mother and child's health
- Basic education and literacy
- Economic and community development
- Supporting the environment
Grant applications are reviewed twice per year and are due on April 15th & October 15th. Do you have a project or non-profit that meets one of Rotary's 7 areas of focus?
