International Service Grants 2024-25

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.

Rotary Clubs and other organizations in their countries partner to address a locally identfied need for the international service project grants. Rotary Club of Ithaca’s international service projects are made possible by local fundraising efforts that receive generous support from our community.
