THIS WEEK'S MEETING
May 21, 2025, 11:30 am
DoubleTree Hotel
Sedona Room
 
This week's speakers are Marty Sinclair and Tiffany Becker with The Hive.
The topic is: "What the Heck is the Hive?"
In May 2021, a group of women in Overland Park, KS began asking, "What's next?" All highly motivated and collectively sharing several years of professional experience and a variety of skills, they were eager to enter the "middle stage" of life full force. As they searched for creative ways to meet new people and have some fun – all while fulfilling their desire to give back – they had a hunch there was an abundance of other middle-stage women with the same goals.
 
Connecting these women and working together to do good became their latest passion – and The Hive was born.
THANK YOU!
Thank you Crawfish Festival Leadership and Volunteers for making the event such a success!
Overland Park Rotary Foundation 2025 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, with preference given to organizations that benefit residents of Overland Park and Johnson County.

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 2025 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: The Grant Recipient is 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 2025 must be submitted on or before May 30, 2025. Questions can be directed to Molly Camis at mollycamis@ gmail.com or 913.696.8884
