PARK CITY, Utah — The Noon Park City Rotary Club has announced the opening of its 2024 Grant cycle, inviting applications from local 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations. Starting Jan. 9, 2024, applications will be accepted for projects that align with Rotary International’s key focus areas, including promoting peace, fighting disease, providing clean water, supporting education, and protecting the environment. Applications are due by Feb. 9, 2024, and late submissions will not be accepted.

Steve Yapp, the grants chair for Park City Rotary, said, “For over 40 years, Park City Rotary has supported impactful projects across Summit County.” Last year, the club distributed $30,000 to seven organizations, with notable contributions like EATS providing over 5,000 pounds of fresh fruit to schools.

The funding for these grants is sourced from the Park City Rotary’s annual Running of the Balls event, held on Miners Day. This event garners community-wide support, with donations coming from local residents and visitors alike. “These funds represent the generosity of our entire community, and it’s our privilege to empower local organizations through these grants,” added Yapp.

Interested nonprofits must submit their applications by Feb. 9, 2024. The selection process will conclude with the awardees being notified by March 4, 2024. Successful applicants will receive their grant checks at the Community Awards Luncheon on March 19, 2024. The maximum grant amount is set at $5,000.
