OPRF Spring Grant Application
The Overland Park Rotary Foundation on behalf of the Overland Park Rotary Club plans to award one $5000 grant to a community organization or agency in the Kansas City metro that provide human services/human need to members of our communities. 
 
The following is the official application and guidelines that would pertain to all Overland Park Rotary Club members and outside requests, which was adopted by the Overland Park Foundation Board.
 
An application must be from an Overland Park Rotary Club member in good standing or from a community organization or community agency that must be sponsored by an Overland Park Rotary Club member in good standing.  An organization or agency who has received funding from the Overland Park Rotary Foundation within the past five years will not be eligible for a Spring 2023 grant award. 
 
The application for a $5000 grant from the Overland Park Rotary Foundation Board should submit in writing the nature of the request to include/address the following:
  • An explanation reflecting the alignment with objectives of the funding to provide human services/human need or relief within the Kansas City Metro
  • A specific description of how the funds will be used
  • A timeframe describing when and how the funds will be used
  • A description of the organization or individuals receiving the funds
Note: grant recipients are expected to provide a written report to the Overland Park Rotary Foundation Board, as well as a presentation to the Overland Park Rotary Club, on the impact those funds had within 12 months from receiving the funds.
 
Each submitted grant application must include the name of the Overland Park Rotarian who is serving as the sponsor. Grant applications for 2023 must be submitted on or before Sunday, May 14, 2023. Questions can be directed to Erik Rome at erik.rome@gmail.com or (913) 568-8599.

Rotary's Turkey/Syria Earthquake Disaster Response Fund
"As Rotarians, we are people of action, and I've heard from many of you about finding a way to help with the recovery efforts. I want to let you know that Rotary International is working to meet the need, now through a dedicated fund.  If you would like to donate, you can do so here, by clicking on the "Turkey/Syria Disaster Response Fund" button.  All donations to this fund through March 31, 2023 will go directly towards helping those most in need in the affected region." DG Stephanie Meyer
