Before You Apply

Rotary is a service organization of community leaders and global citizens united for the common good. The Rotary Club of Newnan invites proposals from 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organizations in the Newnan and Coweta County area to apply. Proposals should fund programs or projects that promote Rotary's mission and ideals, and enhance access, fairness, inclusiveness, and diversity in the greater Newnan–Coweta County community.

Applications are accepted online only — no mail-in applications. The application window runs September 1 through November 1 each Rotary year. Our Grants Committee will review all applications, and applicants will be notified once a decision has been made.

Eligibility Guidelines

Your organization must be a qualified 501(c)(3).
Only organizations serving Coweta County residents may apply.
The application must be filled out in its entirety.
Your contact person must have direct knowledge of the grant request and be able to answer questions about it.
The person completing the application may be someone other than the primary contact.
A member of our Community Grant Committee may contact your organization if additional information is needed, and a site inspection may be required.
Applications received after the deadline will not be considered.

What Grants May Fund

Examples include direct delivery of services (medical treatment, counseling, instruction), tangible items for the population served (food, clothing, instructional items, equipment), tangible items or equipment for the organization (vans, computers, copiers), staff training, administrative services and supplies supporting program delivery, and purchase or renovation of facilities.

Who May Apply

Priority areas include Youth Learning, Basic Human Needs, Employment and Training, Youth Recreation, Community Engagement, Environment, Youth-at-Risk After-School Programs, Emergency Shelter and Counseling for Victims of Violence and Abuse, Homelessness, Disabled/Handicapped Job Training, Substance and Alcohol Abuse, Older Adult Life Enrichment, End-of-Life and Palliative Care, Pro-Life Resource Services, Literacy Programs, Animal Welfare, Food Banks, and Medical/Dental Services at qualified free clinics. Churches may apply only if the grant is unrelated to a religious purpose.

For-profit businesses; political organizations, campaigns, or candidates; personal fundraising or fees for special events (runs, walk-a-thons, etc.); programs located outside Coweta County; payment to retire existing debts or obligations already owed; annual fundraising campaigns or events; medical researchers or practitioners; emergency disaster relief; and publicly funded educational institutions requesting operational funding.
