A clearly documentable need within our community
Limited availability of alternative sources of funding
A benefit to individuals residing in or an organization operating in Washington County, MD
Positive reputation of organization or individual making the request
Ability to enhance the recognition of the Hagerstown Rotary Club within our community
Annual Rotary fiscal year budget limitations

Typical Contribution Amount: $250

There is no formal request form. Requests can be emailed to Elizabeth Williams, Contributions Committee Chair, at elizabethdubya@gmail.com or sent via U.S. Mail to the President of the Hagerstown Rotary Club at PO Box 45, Hagerstown, MD 21741, and should include:

Name, address, and contact information for the organization or individual
