Capital, major, and non-recurring projects are preferred; requests for new projects will also be considered. Funds may only be given consistent with the purposes outlined in the Declaration of Trust revised July 25, 2014. The Trustees will give preference to grant applications by qualified 501(c)3 organizations.

2.Projects that include the personal volunteer involvement of members of the Rotary Club of Perrysburg are encouraged and will generally be given preferential consideration.

3.Requests to purchase office equipment and furnishings or to fund ongoing program expenses are generally not reviewed favorably.

4.Projects that will have an impact on the Perrysburg area, northern Wood County, or throughout northwest Ohio are preferred over those that will impact areas served by other Rotary Clubs.
