Giving back to our communities
Community Grants are designed to encourage all RTOERO Districts to support and partner with local organizations to promote projects that will help our organization to meet our strategic goals of improving the lives of members and seniors; being the trusted voice for the broader education communities; and broadening our membership base. Since the inception of this grant 21 years ago, we’ve donated $1.85 million for 523 projects.
This year RTOERO Districts are eligible to receive grants of up to $2,500 for community projects that advance these strategic goals. Districts interested will serve as the project sponsor and will submit the application for a Community Grant in partnership with a community organization.
Applications are to be completed online via the apply button found below. Progress can be saved and returned to at a later date if desired.
