Community Choice Grants page updated
The Community Choice Grants page now shows the 2026 program details, including eligibility rules, voting rules, and $2,000 grants for local non-profits and registered charities.
The Community Choice Grants page now presents the 2026 program details, including five grants of $2,000 each, with three selected by voting and two selected by the Club. It also adds the eligibility criteria for nominees, including that applicants must be non-profit organizations or registered charities, serve Orangeville residents in a significant way, and were not recipients in the immediately preceding year. The page also now shows the spring nomination phase, voting rules, standings, and the list of 2026 nominees, which makes the application and selection process much more specific than before. The program scope is now clearly tied to Orangeville and the surrounding area, with eligibility linked to Rotary’s areas of focus and the 4-Way Test.
