Signature Project Concept
 
Rotary Club of Eugene Airport is committed to service in its local and world communities.  Since its inception, our club has successfully participated in a variety of short-term local projects.  The club now seeks to build on this work by fostering the development of a larger-scale local effort that is long-term and sustainable in addressing homelessness and housing security in our community.

Project Concept Considerations
  • It is important to note that this project concept was developed prior to the onset of the coronavirus.  
  • It is not known at this time what impact(s) the progression of this disease will have on our community, or even how it might shape project proposals.  
  • However, our club remains committed to evaluating all proposals that address homelessness and housing security.  


Signature Project Funding

  1. Proposed projects may be multi-phase and multi-year.  
  2. First-year funding from this grant is estimated at $10,000, and may be increased at Airport Rotary’s option. 
  3. Applications for lesser amounts will be also considered.

  • use of other funding sources; 
  • utilization of Rotary Club of Eugene Airport volunteers in hands-on project elements; 
  • organization’s record of successful project implementations; and
  • the proposal’s ability to effectively recognize Rotary Club of Eugene Airport’s role and participation in this work.


Process for proposal evaluation:

  • Proposals will receive a preliminary evaluation by a sub-committee of club members, which may include personal interviews. 
  • The top proposals will be provided to and certified by the club’s Board of Directors as meeting required criteria.  
  • The organizations receiving this certification will be contacted and requested to present key aspects of their project to the club’s membership.
