Members of our club joined with other Rotarians in Livermore to participate in the Rotarian Foundation of Livermore's Annual Gift of Reading project. Each of the 969 third graders in the Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District received a new, hardcover literature novel thanks to the generosity of RFL. This year, in partnership with Towne Center Books, RFL invited students to choose their favorite of three titles selected by 3rd grade teachers and the Elementary Library Specialists. In February, students came to their libraries to learn about the choices and selected either The One and Only Ivan, by Katherine Applegate, Wayside School Beneath the Cloud of Doom, by Louis Sachar, or The Wild Robot, by Peter Brown.

Rotarians are invited to volunteer to evaluate applications for this year's Rotarian Foundation of Livermore (RFL) Community Grants. Annually, the RFL awards grants to organizations in the Livermore community that align with RFL values, thereby enabling RFL to support the community more completely. As an evaluator, you will need to attend a Zoom training meeting and then you will be able to evaluate the applications over a 2-week period, on your own time. Complete the form by Friday 3/7 at 5:00 pm if you would like to have a vote in the training meeting time. This year, RFL has received 50 applications, requesting a total of $417, 019. We will be able to fund approximately half of that amount. The evaluation process is even more important this year because of the need shown by our community.

Applications for Fall Grants are due Friday, October 25. We encourage non-profit community organizations and educators whose work aligns with our mission as Rotarians to apply for a grant of up to $1,000. We are grateful to be able to extend our reach into the community by partnering with our grant recipients. Each fall and spring, the Rotary Club of Livermore Valley invites local organizations and schools to seek grant funding that will support efforts that align with our mission as Rotarians. Our grant awards are typically in the $300 - $1,000 range and fund items and projects that will make a positive difference in the lives of children and/or adults in our community. We consider the following criteria when we evaluate applications: - The grant request is for one or more tangible item(s).
- The grant will fund or support a self-sustaining project that is not reliant upon ongoing funding from our club.
- The specific project was not already funded by our club in the previous fiscal year.
- The grant will support a local Livermore humanitarian need or service project that is part of an organization.
- The organization requesting the grant provides equal opportunity without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, ancestry, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition, marital status, sex, gender, age, or sexual orientation.
We do make grants to educators, with the understanding that the funding supports projects in local classrooms and schools. Grants are made to organizations, not individuals, with rare exceptions.
