            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 may be submitted anytime throughout the year however if funds are needed earlier for specific programs or event sponsorships.  Matching funds may also be available from Rotary International or our NJ Rotary District for significant projects.  

 

We regret that we may not be able to fund all requests, nor can we provide multi-year, unlimited, or large amounts of financial support.

 

Emergency, critical or crisis funding requests are reviewed during the year as community needs arise; ie (natural disasters, Covid, etc).  Please contact us directly for further information.
