·         Neighborhoods and Civic Improvement

·         Crime & Substance Abuse Prevention

·         Trails, Parks and the Environment

·         Arts and Culture


 

GEOGRAPHIC AREA OF INTEREST :

Projects should generally benefit the greater Bozeman community.  Programs that benefit the State of Montana generally or other populations either in the U.S. or internationally will be considered if considerable volunteer or other resources from Bozeman Noon Rotarians can be demonstrated.

 RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATION. In the case of an application from a church or other faith-based organization, we will consider an application only if the funded project does not promote a specific religion or sect and is not religious in its sole purpose.

 NONDISCRIMINATION POLICY. Bozeman Noon Rotary does not discriminate in the awarding of community grants on any basis prohibited by law.  We recognize that applicants may limit their services or opportunities to specific targeted populations within the community; however, any such limitations must be reasonably related to the effective provision of the services/opportunities.
