Subject:                Call for Legacy Project Ideas
 
In May 2020 the Rotary Club of Traverse City will celebrate 100 years of service.  To celebrate and commemorate our service to the community we are seeking project ideas from Rotary Club members for a signature, legacy project.  With an investment of up to $1 Million from Rotary Charities, the project should reflect Rotary’s history of advancing the greater community good and embrace the future.
 
The deadline for submitting ideas is June 15th, 2018.  The Legacy Task Force will review the ideas and make a final recommendation to the boards of the Rotary Club and Rotary Charities by October.
 
The following principles will be considered for selection: 
  • It is a commemoration & celebration and is outside of the Rotary Charities grant process.
  • Has a lasting impact.
  • Positively impacts a large number of people at all ages.
  • Clearly named as a Rotary project (ie-Rotary Park, Rotary Square, etc).
  • Located within the greater Traverse City area.
  • Potentially provides opportunities for club service.
  • Could leverage other funding opportunities.
  • Not an endowment.
  • Not part of a current, larger campaign.
