Welcome to the Lakeville Rotary’s District / Global Grants resource page. Our club takes great pride in collaborating with other clubs on projects that have a significant impact on the local and global community. In fact, each year we dedicate 10% of our fundraising endeavors to support grant initiatives.

Our funding capacity varies each year due to the success of our fundraising efforts, the grant funding needed for our own grant applications and the number of requests we receive from other clubs.

Below you will find information on some of our club’s successful grants, contributions we’ve made to other clubs and general information for clubs seeking funding support. If you have questions about anything you see here, please reach out to the Lakeville Rotary Director of District / Global Grants, Joshua Lee.

Other Rotary Initiatives

Home-In-A-Box

Friends of Chimbote is an organization dedicated to thousands of men, women, and children living in the barrios of Chimbote, Peru who are desperate for a life without suffering in extreme poverty. Many live in shacks pieced together from woven reeds and cardboard, having floors of compacted dirt with no electricity, running water, or sewers. Amid this despair is a place where the hungry are fed, where families can feel safe, where children can get an education, where the sick receive the medical care they need, and lives are transformed.

End Polio Now

Learn more about Rotary's efforts to End Polio. Most know it as poliovirus. The virus is spread person to person, typically through contaminated water. It can attack the nervous system, and in some instances, lead to paralysis. Although there is no cure, there is a safe and effective vaccine – one which Rotary and our partners use to immunize over 2.5 billion children worldwide.
