ALAMO HEIGHTS ROTARY
Guidelines and Policies
Requests for Charitable Organization/Agency Funding
September 2020 Revision
This September 2020 Application format will be used until it is replaced with a later version.
1.Each year funds are raised through a variety of means by the Alamo Heights Rotary Club (AHRC) and Alamo Heights Night LLC (AHNLLC) and are made available for charitable giving to 501c(3) organizations and other agencies.
2.All disbursements will be made in accordance with established policies and procedures of the AHRC and AHNLLC.
3.Organizations and activities desiring funding must submit a written application for the funds by completing a General Information Form (attached). The form must be completed by an authorized representative of the organization/agency. Failure to fully complete the form may result in delay or denial of the request. The form must be signed also by an Alamo Heights Rotary Club Rotarian as the sponsor or it will not be considered. The only material to be submitted is to be the general information form and latest organization financial statement. If there is not sufficient space on the general information form to provide the requested information, the organization/agency may add no more than two pages (one page with two sides of information or two pages with one side each page) of additional material in support of their request. Brochures, annual reports, and other material should not be submitted.
4.All requests will be reviewed by the AHRC Finance Committee based on the written materials provided. Unless specifically requested by the Finance Committee, no presentation will be made in person by representative(s) of the requesting organization/agency on behalf of the request. The Finance Committee is charged with reviewing charitable funding requests and making recommendations to the AHRC Board of Directors for approval.
5.All materials submitted by any organization/agency shall become the property of the AHRC and may be made available to the Club Board of Directors and the AHNLLC Board of Managers.
6.Requests for funds may be submitted at any time. However, the AHRC Finance Committee Chairperson will establish a cutoff date for receipt of requests to be considered at the next scheduled meeting (normally one month prior to the meeting). Requests received after that date will be held and considered during the next scheduled meeting if there is one that fiscal year. The AHRC Fiscal Year is July 1-June 30. The first Finance Committee meeting is normally conducted in September each year (schedules may vary). Meetings and cutoff dates are posted on the Calendar Section and Charitable Funding page of the AHRC web site (www.ahrotary.org) when scheduled.
7.Applications from a non-profit organization requesting funds that they will then use to give all or in part as funds to another organization or individual will not be considered.
8.All allocations are one-time disbursements and no future commitment is automatic or implied. The maximum amount that may be requested using this application process is $5,000
9.The Finance Committee will inform requestors within 120 days of the next scheduled meeting of the status of the request.
10.REPORT REQUIRED: In submitting this request, the applicant understands that they will be expected to submit a detailed report to the Alamo Heights Rotary Club of what, how, amounts, and when any funds provided as a result of this request are spent. The report must be submitted within one month following expenditure of all funds provided by this request. If that time frame is going to be past June 30 of any year, an interim report must be submitted by July 31 of that year indicating what, how, amounts, and when funds have already been spent and when completion is expected for the use of all funds provided. No later than 13 months from the date funds were provided, a current status of expended funds will be submitted. Any funds not spent within one year of granting may be requested to be refunded to the AHRC.
