Rotary Club of Issaquah 2025 Community Service Grant Program

The Rotary Club of Issaquah is awarding $10,000 in grants this Spring 2025 to local non-profit groups, schools, churches, and other charitable organizations. Applicants must be organizations that serve youth and their families residing within the Greater Issaquah Community and within the boundaries of the Issaquah School District. (The Issaquah School District spans 110 square miles, supporting approximately 19,000 students living within the cities of Issaquah, Newcastle, Renton, Bellevue, and Sammamish).
 
At Rotary, we are deeply committed to driving positive change and empowering communities. We understand the vital role that local organizations play in creating a lasting impact. That is why we have transitioned to a grant-based funding model. This approach not only enriches the support we provide but also offers a wealth of opportunities for locally based organizations like yours.
 
1) Leveraging Rotary's Support and Facilitation:
 
As a grant applicant, you will have the unique advantage of tapping into Rotary's extensive network, resources, and expertise. We believe in the power of partnerships, and this collaboration enables us to support and facilitate specific needs within your community. Together with you, we are dedicated to amplifying the impact of your projects and initiatives.
 
2) Crafting Compelling Stories for Celebration:
 
Your work deserves recognition, and storytelling is a powerful tool for showcasing your achievements. Through the grant-based model, we aim to help you create clearer, more compelling narratives about the transformative work you do. These stories not only celebrate your successes but also strengthen your case when applying for grants, not just from us but also from other funding sources. By sharing your stories, you can inspire others to support your mission.
 
3) Understanding Needs and Building Community Partnerships:
 
We recognize that local organizations are intimately connected with the needs of their communities. With our support, you will gain a deeper understanding of these needs and how to address them effectively. Additionally, this model encourages collaboration and partnership-building within the community. Together, we can forge meaningful alliances, pool resources, and tackle challenges collectively.
 
4) Ensuring Accountability for Project Success:
 
Accountability is essential for the success of any project. By applying for Rotary grants, you commit to a higher level of accountability. Grant applications require thorough planning, rigorous evaluation, and transparent reporting. This not only ensures that your projects are executed efficiently but also enhances your credibility and trustworthiness among donors and stakeholders.
 
Join us in harnessing the power of Rotary's resources, amplifying your impact through compelling storytelling, understanding community needs, and embracing a higher level of accountability. Together, we can make a profound difference in our communities and create a brighter future for all.
 
In summary, Rotary's transition to a grant-based funding model is an exciting opportunity for local organizations like yours. It signifies our dedication to supporting meaningful change and fostering community empowerment. Together with Rotary, we invite you to be part of this transformative journey.
