            Attn: Charitable Giving Request

Our board typically reviews all submissions once a year in June, and will notify each organization of the results by July.

 

Requests to support local emergencies (ie natural disasters, Covid, etc), event sponsorships or other time-sensitive deadlines may be submitted and reviewed anytime throughout the year as community needs arise. 

 

Matching funds may also be available from Rotary International or our NJ Rotary District for significant larger projects or needs. Please contact us to discuss specific requirements for these matching fund programs at board@tomsriverrotary.com   

 

We regret that we may not be able to fund all requests, nor can we provide ongoing, multi-year financial support.
