Grant and Funding Programs Offered by Rotary Club of Midland

The Rotary Club of Midland operates as a community service organization that distributes funds raised through club activities to support local charitable initiatives. Unlike formal foundations, the club functions as a service organization where members volunteer their time and resources to benefit the local community.

Requests under $2,500 can be approved at the Committee level. Requests over $2,500 require Board approval and are presented to the Club for final approval. For requests of $5,000 or more, applicants are asked to present at a Fireside Meeting. The Community Service Committee contacts selected applicants to ensure their presentation contains the information the Club is looking for.

Funding requests are reviewed twice annually - in the Spring and Fall. The deadline for Fall review is October 1st, and for Spring review is April 1st. Decisions on applications are made approximately 4-6 weeks following these deadlines. Time-sensitive requests may be reviewed independently throughout the year and are assessed on a case-by-case basis.
