Rotary Club of Fort Worth South Community Grant Guidelines 2026-2027
Focus: Programs and Services for Children
The Rotary Club of Fort Worth South welcomes grant proposals from non-profit organizations serving Tarrant County that provide programs or services for children (infants through high school) in our community.
Applicants must have 501©(3) status. Applicants may apply for a one-time grant of up to $4,000.
The Rotary Club of Fort Worth South may choose to award all or any part of a grant request depending on funds available and the decision of the Foundation Committee and the Board of Directors.
The Rotary Club of Fort Worth South will NOT fund:
- Organizations that do not provide programs or services for children in our community
- Membership fees or ticket sales
- Church-related activities
- Deficit budget expenses or retroactive funding
- Capital debt reduction
- Political or controversial programs or services
Request should include a letter describing the organization's mission, the purpose for funding, the amount requested, those who would benefit, anticipated results from the program/service and any other information deemed important to conveying your request. Please limit your written request to two pages (single-sided).
Grant requests, along with a copy of your 501©(3) tax exempt letter, most recent form 990 and a program or agency budget, should be emailed to THockerRotary@gmail.com in a PDF file (or multiple PDF files, if necessary) no later than Monday, December 21, 2026.
