GENERAL GRANT APPLICATION GUIDELINES

BROOMFIELD ROTARY CHARITABLE FOUNDATION, INC.

Broomfield Rotary Charitable Foundation (BRCF) awards grants that further BRCF's charitable and educational purposes.

The Broomfield Rotary Charitable Foundation, Inc. continues to grow through the generosity of our members as well as people and organizations that support our annual fundraising efforts.

The Rotary Foundation offers grants that support a wide variety of projects, scholarships, and training that Rotarians are doing around the world. Explore the grant types and find one that’s right for your project.

There are three (3) separate grants administered by the BRCF.

Rotary Grants 

  • Foundation Grants
    • We typically have two grants cycles each Rotary year (July 1-June 30). The deadlines for each cycle are:
      • August 31 (Fall cycle)
      • February 28 (Spring cycle)
    • Applicants will be informed of the grants committee’s decision by the end of the month following the respective application deadline
    •  
 
Please note the following application requirements:
  • A maximum amount of $5,000 can be requested
    • There could be opportunity for additional funding at the discretion of the Foundation Board
  • Organizations can only receive one (1) grant per Rotary year
  • Projects should provide significant benefit to the community and to the participating individuals
  • Applications requesting funds for salary, travel, administrative, and other general expenses will not be considered
  • Incomplete applications will not be considered
 
Typically, when considering applications, the committee looks closely at the following criteria:
  • Will the grant benefit the Broomfield community?
  • Will the grant be used for physical assets?
  • Will the grant support our club mission?
 
  • Police & Fire Fund Grants
    • BRCF also has established a fund to benefit the families of Broomfield police officers and fire fighters injured or killed in the line of duty (the Police and Fire Fund). Application for these grants must go through the Broomfield Police Department or the North Metro Fire and Rescue District.
 
  • Rotary Random Acts of Kindness Fund:  
    • PURPOSE: The purpose of this fund is to enable The Broomfield Rotary Club to make small but meaningful gifts (up to $500 maximum) to individuals in need of help due to medical, dental, school, auto repair help, etc.
    • WHO WOULD QUALIFY: Any Broomfield resident, employee, or student.
    • WHY: There is a significant number of working individuals who do not qualify for governmental or program assistance but occasionally need help with dental work, school costs, and other expenses. This outreach program by Rotary aims to assist those in need within our community, expanding our charitable footprint. These grants are provided directly to individuals who may not qualify for other programs but still require support.
