Tree of Light Funding Application

TREE OF LIGHT 2025 FUND

APPLICATION FORM FOR APPLYING FOR A DONATION

Evesham Rotary Club is part of a world-wide Rotary movement which has as its motto ‘Service Above Self’. As well as meeting regularly, we aim to make a difference to communities and charities by establishing projects  and through charitable giving.

Each year, the Tree of Light campaign enables a significant number of charitable causes and community groups to further achieve their aims and applications for funds can be made from organisations located in Evesham and nearby surrounding villages. We are always keen to support those who have a strong connection to their local community and for whom a donation would make a significant difference. We are seeking to support one-off initiatives rather than recurring running costs.

We expect you to:

• Have a bank account in your organisation’s name
• Have a governing document outlining your objectives
• Be locally led and run
• Have a committee or support group

Please note that the Rotary Club’s Tree of Light Fund will not provide donations for the following:

• Private businesses
• National Organisations (unless you are a local group with your own management committee  and any funds definitely go to the local community)
• Building work
• Staff parties, prize money or the purchase of gifts
• Work of a political nature
• Work for the advancement of religion where the main focus is proselytising
• Organisations that give funds to other organisations
• Staff costs and overheads
