Community Services Committee Projects for 2019
 

Each year, Kalamunda Rotary has a Community Grants Program (up to $5,000) and a Community Donations Program (above $5,000). Successful applicants and recipients are invited to speak to Kalamunda Rotary at a dinner meeting to outline the benefits of the funding grant and how Kalamunda Rotary will be publicly acknowledged through the project or program.
 
Community Grants Program
 
The Community Grants Program is open for applications from January 1 to the end of April.
 
The aims of the Community Grants Program are:
  • To enhance and help the Kalamunda City community grow
  • To support projects or programs that encourage visitors to the City of Kalamunda
  • To support Youth, Health or Education in the local community
