International Service Grants Call for Projects

Due date: Monday, September 30
 
The Rotary Club of Ithaca invites applications from Tompkins County area organizations and Rotary Clubs in CNY District 7180 for Peacebuilding projects outside the United States that make a small but amazing difference to create and sustain peaceful societies.
 
Peacebuilding projects may be focused on any of Rotary International's seven areas of service: fighting disease, providing clean water, sanitation, and hygiene, saving mothers and children, supporting education, growing local economies, protecting the environment, and promoting peace.
 
Selected projects receive $2,000 - $5,000 in grants from the club. The deadline to submit an application is September 30th. Please open the 2024-25 International Service Project Application here or call 607-288-2808 (a google voice #) for more information.
 
Since 2012, the Ithaca Rotary Club has provided 16 grants to 12 organizations, enhancing food security and education on healthy eating in the community. Key partnerships include Foodnet Meals on Wheels, which received five grants for equipment, nutritional improvements, and outreach. Support also extended to gardening and cooking programs for low-income families, plus grants to Greenstar, Ithaca Community Gardens, and Unity House to expand their services. These efforts exemplify Rotary's commitment to community well-being.
This trio combines their unique styles, warmth, and talent. Margaret Wakeley, a former solo and cabaret singer, now narrates audiobooks and is the mother of X Ambassadors' members. Molly MacMillan, a jazz pianist, remains an Ithaca favorite, performing with various groups and releasing jazz CDs. Alice Saltonstall, a vocal performance major, rediscovered her passion for singing through vocal improvisation. See them at LAFF!
The Little Apple Fall Follies on October 5th at Kulp Auditorium will feature John Simon and Cal Walker, a duo entertaining children for nearly 20 years with musical storytelling. John, a musician and radio host, and Cal, a community leader and literacy advocate, are based in Ithaca, NY. Organized by the Ithaca Rotary and Savage Clubs, the event raises funds for community grants, youth exchange, and international aid.
 
Congratulations to Ithaca High School senior Sahana Bhaskaran for receiving the James L. Gibbs Scholarship Award from the Ithaca Rotary Club!
 
Sahana, who will attend Wellesley College next fall, served as an event leader at the high school's Student of Color Summit, which celebrates the racial identities of students and promotes interracial understanding through building community among students of color in the Ithaca City School District.
