Back to Work Grant Program
Rotarians are People of Action interested in doing what we can to rebuild our communities after the Almeda, Obenchain and surrounding fires. To do this we are giving grants to help businesses and self-employed individuals return to full employment. We are seeking individuals and businesses that find themselves under insured, with no insurance, or will not qualify for enough additional aid to return to full employment. Loss of revenue, income, salaries and wages are not eligible.
Funds have been donated by Rogue Credit Union and several Rotary International clubs. In most cases single person businesses will be limited to $2,000 with the maximum for all businesses limited to $5,000. Grants will be awarded based on our evaluation of how we can do the most good.
