The Club may consider requests for the following types of community involvement:
- Monetary grants to community and nonprofit organizations or group
- Sponsorships of community and economic development events
- Direct payment of media advertising at selected community events
Please fill out the Funding Request Form as specifically and as precisely as possible. Funding cannot be approved if the Club’s board of directors (Board) cannot tell exactly what you are requesting the money for. Generalizations such as "to help our students" or "to run our program" are not sufficient. You may attach any additional material you feel would be helpful to the Board in making its determination but the completed Funding Request Form is required in every case at least 30 days prior to the event.
So that the widest community benefit may be obtained from budgeted community involvement funds, requests will be evaluated according to the following criteria:
- Preference will be given to requests in one of the following three areas of focus:
- Health and Wellness
- Education and Literacy
- Economic and Community Development
- Preference will be given to requests that provide benefits to a wide segment of the community. For example, the Club prefers to support organizations and activities that cover a larger part of the community as opposed to individuals and athletic teams/activities.
- Preference will be given to those requests that provide clear recognition of the Club’s contribution.
