Community Service Project Grant Application Review Committee
The Community Service Project Grant Application Review Committee is responsible for reviewing and approving (or rejecting) all Community Service Project Grant applications for funding. Each grant application is usually only one page and must be well-written and/or presented. Typically, 3-5 grants are submitted by Philadelphia area Rotary Clubs by each review deadline date. No committee meetings are generally required, just a timely note to the Committee Chairperson indicating your approval of the Grant application. (reference: https://www.gundaker.org/applications)
