Community Awards 2025

ABOUT THE AWARDS

Application Deadline - 6:00 pm – 30th April 2025

The aim of the Community Awards programme is to support organisations within the Monmouth area with a small grant which will make a real and lasting difference.  This is a programme with awards of up to a maximum of £1000. If your project needs more than this, please make an approach to Rotary Monmouth to discuss your project and objectives in more detail
This is a new programme reflecting the success of Rotary Monmouth Fundraising activities and the support we have received from the Community.
Organisations with significant assets or turnover will not be considered.

Community Award Application Criteria

Priority will be given to projects promoted by small groups or organisations that: -
•    Offer value for money, for example because their work will have a significant number of beneficiaries.
•    Fall within one or more of the Rotary Areas of Focus (See Here)
•    Are staffed mainly by volunteers. Applications for payment of salaries will not be considered.
The maximum award to any one organisation is £1000 and no application will be too small.

Eligibility
