The Greater Lubbock Rotary makes annual contributions to worthy community organizations.  The Special Projects Committee meets in January each year to review requests received.

Our focus is supporting projects located in the Lubbock area that fall into one or more of the following categories:

• Youth
• Elderly
• Disadvantaged
• Health
• Poverty
• Literacy
• Education

Requests should be made in writing addressed to Special Projects Committee, Greater Lubbock Rotary, 213 Zoar Ave., Lubbock, Texas 79416.

To make a request, fill out the Contributions Request Form.  Please keep in mind the following:

1. Community need must be present and identifiable.
2. Requesting groups must be tax-exempt.
3. Special attention is given to groups with:

• Efficient and effective administration of funds and programs
• Plentiful volunteer support
• Programs which serve large numbers of people
• Programs with long-term effects
• Programs that encourage wide community support

The Greater Lubbock Rotary makes every effort to direct its contributions where they have the greatest impact while addressing the most critical needs.  We receive far more requests than there is money available and acknowledge that we are unable to fund every worthy endeavor.  As a general rule, we will not make contributions to:

• Churches or religious organizations for purpose of religious advocacy
• Funding for individuals
• School programs or projects that benefits one individual versus a group of students
• Unrestricted operating funds

Timing Requirements

Proposals are accepted from July 1st until December 31st each year and are considered by the Special Projects Committee in January.

Please submit your completed application with 5 copies to the The Greater Lubbock Rotary to the attention of the Special Projects Committee not later than December 31st.

We will notify you of our decision regarding your application as soon as possible.
