How to Secure A Rotary Local Grant
At Rotary LOCAL, we believe that educators know best when it comes to meeting the needs of their students. That’s why we provide grants and hands-on support to schools and educational organizations in Tucson, helping bring creative and impactful projects to life. Whether it’s funding classroom resources, enhancing learning spaces, or supporting hands-on educational initiatives, our goal is to empower teachers with the tools they need to create lasting change.
To ensure that our resources have the greatest impact, we have outlined key guidelines for submitting a grant proposal. Please review the criteria carefully before applying, and let us know how we can support your vision for a stronger, more engaged learning community.
