Middletown Rotary Grants Program

Overview

The Middletown Rotary Club makes small grants to benefit the residents of Middletown, Cromwell, Durham, Haddam, Portland and Middlefield.  Each year priorities are determined by the Board of Directors and are listed on this website; www.middletownrotary.org .  Organizations seeking funds must complete a Grant Application Form and submit it to Middletown Rotary Club, Post Office Box 1107, Middletown, CT 06457 or to any Rotary Board member.  Applications will be reviewed quarterly.  All applicants will be notified of the results of their grant request.  Recipients will be awarded checks at an upcoming Rotary meeting.  Denial of requests may not reflect the value of the project, but might instead be related to the current year's priorities or present funding levels.
