Interested nonprofit groups can access the online application at www.duboiscountyrotary.com (found under the “About Our Club,” then “Community Grants” link) or on the club’s Facebook page.

Applications for up to $16,000 in funding will be accepted, and they must match one of Rotary’s seven areas of focus: Promoting Peace, Fighting Disease, Providing Clean Water, Sanitation and Hygiene, Saving Mothers and Children, Supporting Education, Growing Local Economies or Protecting the Environment.

- Southeast Dubois School Corporation to assist with Emergency Backpacks
- Memorial Hospital and the Women’s and Infants Unit to provide a box of diapers and a book to each family of a newborn
- Southwest Dubois School Corporation to support Fuertes Together
