2022 Community
Grants Opportunity!
The Community Service Committee (CSC) of the Evanston Lighthouse Rotary Club (ELRC) announces a call for Letters of Intent for the 2022 Community Service Grant Process.
Each year the CSC accepts letters of intent from non-profit organizations serving Evanston residents for specific programs in the amount of $1000 to $3000.
This year, the CSC seeks to support
- projects or programs focusing on child and youth development and education.
- These should focus on educational, social-emotional learning and mental health deficiencies created by the pandemic.
- Programs that incorporate environmental education will be given priority.
INFORMATION REQUESTED IN THE LETTER OF INTENT
A brief description of your non-profit organization including the organization’s Mission Statement, its length of existence and its Employer Identification Number (EIN).
- Please include contact information.
- In 150 words or less, please describe the project/program for which you are seeking funding.
- Include the total project/program cost
- Describe the demographics of the program recipients being served. Include an estimate of the projected number of recipients, their ages and how many live in Evanston.
- Include a description of the anticipated impact of the grant upon this program/project.
- If the project is to continue, include a brief plan for sustainability of the project beyond the funding period.
Date – Letters of Intent are due to Committee chair Stephen Goranson at
goranson.stephen@gmail.com on or before February 11, 2022.
On February 25, 2022 applicants will be notified as to whether or not they have been accepted into the grant process. For those who are accepted, a member of the committee will contact them to schedule a site visit or Zoom interview to take place before March 1, 2022.
In early April, organizations will be notified as to whether they are to be awarded a grant and if so, the amount. The checks will be sent out shortly after that.
A Rotary meeting announcing the grants will take place in May and representatives from a few organizations will be asked to make brief presentations.
Applicants will not have to fill out a formal application. The Letter of Intent should give basic information about the project and all other information will be collected during the site visit or Zoom interview.
Thank you for your interest in the Lighthouse Rotary Community Service Grants.
Please contact Stephen Goranson if you have any questions. goranson.stephen@gmail.com
