The Rotary Club of Nashua is committed to “Service Above Self” and is dedicated to making the Nashua Community a better place. The Club hosts a number of fundraisers throughout the year and 100% of all profits go back to the community in the form of scholarships and community grants. The Rotary Club of Nashua Community Grants program is administered by the volunteer members of the club to benefit the non-profit community in Nashua, New Hampshire.

In 2020, a total of $25,000 will be awarded in community grants to nonprofits serving the Nashua Community. The awards granted will be in the range of $1,500 to $5,000. Therefore, the Nashua Community Program/Project must be in that range.

Although any nonprofit may apply, preference is given to those nonprofits that impact the greatest number of Nashua citizens. Requests for general agency operating funding will be considered a low priority. The Rotary Club of Nashua does not honor requests for ongoing multi-year funding.

Please do not lobby members on your behalf. Decisions will be based solely on this application and community needs along with available grant funds.
