Call to Kutztown Rotarians for Grant Training
It is grant application time through March 30, 2025 for both District Grants and Global Grants. In order to participate in grants, more than 1 person in each club needs to complete the grant training, which is then good for 3 years. Training expired this year for all but one member in the Kutztown club, so we need members to get the training. Members who are grant trained are responsible for writing and coordinating grants.
Grant Training will be held by ZOOM on January 13, 2025, at 6:00 pm
