Menomonie Rotary Grant Information

​

The morning Menomonie Sunrise Rotary Club and the afternoon Rotary Club of Menomonie are both service organizations focused on Community, Youth, Education, and Vocation for the betterment of Dunn County. Awards will be granted on a competitive basis to organizations that support and serve our community.

 

Grants are for special projects and not intended for ongoing operational expenses or capital campaigns. The grant should be sufficient for your organization to complete the project. If you have matching funds from other sources, the Rotary Club(s) will participate if total funds are sufficient to complete the project.
