Our second speaker was the Program Director for Rotary Charities, Becky Ewing.

Becky sugested that we all consider agreeing to sit on a grant investigation team. She described the grant application process, including the criteria applied to determine whether a grant is approved or denied. Grant applications should be:

  • Based on community needs
  • Have measurable outcomes
  • Have high impact
  • Encourage collaboration 

Becky distributed conflict-of-interest forms that she urged us to complete and turn in.
