Grants: Stef Holden

Escondido Rotary Club is looking to support local non-profit organizations that provide services directly to the residents of Escondido. We focus on: hunger relief, education for children and youth, and care for elderly and Escondido residents in need. If your organization is at least 3 years old and registered as a 501(c)(3) in the State of California, we would like to hear your story, what you do, and how our local community benefits from your work. The Grant Application for 2021 funding is available now. Deadline for submission is July 30th, 2021.

Hands On: Ron Smith

In 2021 we are determined to build 50 foldable desks for local school children who do not have a designated space at home to study and do their homework. These desks will be distributed through the Escondido school district. We encourage everyone (Rotarians and non-Rotarians) to contribute to this project. The funds will be spent on wood, screws, and other things we need to build these little foldable desks for kids.
