Apply for a Good Works Grant

Download the application below. Once completed, submit applications via email to GoodWorks@TraverseCityRotary.org. Submissions are reviewed by a committee member, who may contact you with further questions. Following their review, your grant proposal will be reported to the committee for consideration at our quarterly meeting. Successful applicants will be notified following approval by the Club Board.
The Good Works Fund provides important financial support to our community on a smaller scale than Rotary Charities grants. They are two distinctly different grant-making programs.
