$10,000 Grant Awarded By Rotary Club of Alexandria Awards To Alexandria ACT Now COVID-19 Response Fund

The Rotary Club of Alexandria is pleased to announce that it is accepting applications for the 2021 Grant Program, according to a news release. The Rotary Club of Alexandria Grant Program provides financial support to nonprofit organizations that advance literacy for children and adults and/or improve the lives of children, youth, seniors, and others with special needs within the city limits of Alexandria. 

According to the Alexandria Gazette Packet, "The Rotary Club of Alexandria provides funds for specific programs and activities that strengthen core programs; provide seed funding for a new program, program elements or initiative; or support capital expenditures. Collaborative projects with other nonprofits are accepted, with a single grant made to the lead organization. Usually, grants for ordinary operating or maintenance expenses are not considered. Applicants are encouraged to include how last year’s gift helped your organization deal with the effects of COVID-19 and how it has helped shape this year’s request." As per Alexandria Gazette Packet, "Grant amounts typically range from $500 to $5000 with the average of $2,050 per recipient. Given the number of worthy grant applications, awards are seldom able to be made at the higher levels. More specific eligibility criteria are in the Grant Application form. The Rotary Club of Alexandria reserves the right to periodically change these eligibility criteria and/or incorporate additional criteria. Applications should be filed no later than March 5, 2021, and grant decisions will be announced on or about May 1, 2021."
