Grants and Donations Committee Update
Submitted by: Lynn Streeter, Chairperson
May 2025
The Grants and Donations Committee, an advisory committee to our Board of Directors, is charged with reviewing requests for funds, ensuring a fit with our mission, and being good stewards of donated monies. Our Board approved the Committee’s recommendations of Directors on May 16th. This is a summary report to our members regarding the second half of our Rotary year.
Written requests for grants and donations are reviewed on a biannual basis. Our spring cycle resulted in approval of funds for the following organizations:
- · Jonathan Clark House to support the annual community Heritage Days events for area families ($500).
- · Mequon-Thiensville Historical Society to purchase a new computer ($600).
- · Family Sharing of Ozaukee to support the purchase of perishable foods in the “Food for the Future” program for the month of September ($1,150).
- · Weiss Scholarship Foundation to fund education and support children with mentors in Kenya. They are scheduled to speak to our Club on May 30th ($1,200)
I wish to thank the following committee members for their time and thoughtful deliberation over this Rotary year:
- Seth Duhnke
- Steve Peterman
- Connie Pukaite
- Father Mike Shay.
