Rotary has cash for projects to help others

by Dolores Fox Ciardelli Sometimes it takes a little extra cash to do a lot of good in the community. That's where the Rotary Club of San Ramon steps in to help with grants for worthwhile projects. Nonprofit groups must apply by March 1 for grants from the San Ramon Rotary Foundation. The grants range from $200 to $1,500 and will be awarded by the foundation's grants committee. "It can be more than $1,500 if the grants committee approves it," said Rotarian Sam Parwiz. "We need to get the word out," he added. "We have in the neighborhood of $10,000 to $20,000." Grants will be awarded to groups that make a big impact in the community by meeting a need. The fFoundation does not make continuing or permanent commitments but evaluates requests annually on their merits. Groups must also be ready to account for the use of the money. Grants will be given to groups that will use the money within the year, from July 1, 2010-June 30, 2011. Grant recipients are requested to recognize the Rotary Club of San Ramon in an appropriate manner, and the foundation will list those who receive the grants in press releases and the Rotary publication, Crows Call. Grant recipients in 2008-09 were as follows: Ten (10) Scholarships to High School Seniors Agape Villages Assistance League of Diablo Valley CALDA California High School Robotics Program Contra Costa Firefighters 1230 Del Amigo Continuation High School Diablo Valley College Diablo Valley Veterans Foundation/Sentinels of Freedom Discovery Counseling Center East Bay Diaper Foundation Eugene O'Neill Foundation Golden View School Halleck Creek Ranch Institute Hospice Foundation of East Bay Loaves and Fishes Lucille Glass Mauzy Foundation San Ramon Historic Foundation San Ramon Senior Center Foundation San Ramon Youth Police Academy San Ramon Valley Eating Disorder Support Group Shelter Box USA Wardrobe of Opportunity Grant applications are available at www.sanramonrotary.org.
