Rotary Club of Syracuse
P&C Grant Application

The Philanthropy & Charities Committee (P&C) is thrilled to announce that the Club’s grant portal is now open for new applications aimed at specific projects. Applications will be accepted between September 23, 2025 and November 14, 2025. During November and early December, the P&C Committee will evaluate the submissions and provide recommendations to the Club’s Board of Directors for approval. Organizations that receive approval will be funded through the Central New York Community Foundation, with disbursements by the end of calendar year 2025.


The P&C Committee encourages organizations to apply for grant amounts under $5,000. However, depending on the application's quality and the community’s needs, there may be opportunities to increase the final grant amount.


In addition to funding projects, the Rotary Club of Syracuse is keen to explore additional ways members can assist organizations. This may include volunteer opportunities, mentorship, presentations, consulting, or direct care for recipients. We welcome any suggestions in your application.
