charities and international missions each year. Our support
comes in the form of cash grants to local social service
agencies and financial matching contributions to international
projects also funded by The Rotary Foundation. The source
of our financial support comes from many club fundraising
and social events - all of which are open to the public.
Please see our club calendar of events on this website or

to local charities. In July and August, the Rotary Club
of York-East accepts applications from charitable organizations
seeking funds from our club. From the list of applicants,
two to three are chosen each year. Throughout the year we
raise the needed funds and award our support grants at end
of year meetings in June. Other smaller donations are budgeted
for persons or agencies that correspond with us throughout
the year with requests for assistance. Please contact us
if you would like your charitable organization to be considered
for funding in a future Rotary Year.
