Through its Annual Service Partner Program, Metropolitan Savannah Rotary will partner with one organization for a year (beginning July 1, 2022), providing volunteer support once a quarter and financial support through the grant period. The grant recipient will be awarded a minimum of $10,000 with an opportunity for additional funds based on the success of Metropolitan Savannah Rotary events throughout the year.

Throughout the service year, there must be opportunities for hands-on service projects at least quarterly for Metro members. Recipients must also be a 501(c)(3) organization. Preference is given to organizations whose missions  incorporate programs with a tangible impact, providing lasting results for years to come. 

Applications must be submitted in the Google Survey no later than April 1, 2022.

“Rotary’s motto is service above self and our Metro Savannah Rotary Club prides itself on being able to deliver both service and financial contributions to our community non-profits that need it the most. It’s a perfect opportunity for our members to not only fundraise and donate to the cause but learn and understand the vital programs and services our annual service partner provides to our communities through our hands-on service,” said Club President Cecilia Tran Arango. 

Past Metro Rotary Service Partners include Girls on the Run of Coastal Georgia and Low Country, Urban Hope, Bike Walk Savannah, Coastal Empire Habitat for Humanity, Ogeechee Riverkeeper, Loop It Up Savannah, Fresh Air Home, Forsyth Farmers Market’s Farm Truck 912, and Green Briar Children’s Center.
