Grants available
The Rotary Club of Everett encourages Everett-area nonprofits and schools to apply for one of its local impact grants. Grants of up to $5,000 each year for three years are available for projects that cover a three-year timeline and are designed to grow a group’s capacity to accomplish its work in the community. Funding after the first year depends on an evaluation of the previous year’s project. Proposals must serve the greater Everett area. Projects with matching funds and plans to include Rotary volunteers are preferred. More information is under the “Links” section at http://portal.clubrunner.ca/270. The application deadline is Jan. 29.
