Apply for a Donation from the Rotary Club of Port Washington-Saukville

Serving our community since 1929.

The Rotary Club of Port Washington-Saukville is committed to strengthening the Port Washington and Saukville communities through service, fellowship, and charitable giving. Each year, our members review donation requests from local nonprofits, schools, civic groups, and community organizations, and we're proud to support the programs and projects that make Ozaukee County a better place to live.

Who Can Apply

We welcome requests from:

  • Local nonprofits and charitable organizations serving the Port Washington or Saukville area
  • Schools, youth groups, and educational programs
  • Civic organizations and community improvement initiatives
  • Programs aligned with Rotary's areas of focus: peace, education, health, water & sanitation, economic development, and the environment

We generally do not fund individuals, political campaigns, or organizations without a demonstrated community benefit.

What We Fund

Our grants typically support specific programs, events, or projects rather than general operating expenses. Strong applications clearly describe the community need being addressed, the number of people served, and how Rotary's contribution will be used.

Past recipients include organizations like Mel's Charities, Ozaukee Food Alliance, United Way of Northern Ozaukee, Riveredge Nature Center, and many more.

How to Apply

Complete our online Donation Request Form below. Please have the following information ready:

  • Organization name, mission, and contact information
  • Description of the specific program or project requesting funding
  • Amount requested and how funds will be used
  • Number of people or families your program serves
  • Any other funding sources for this project

What Happens Next

Our board reviews requests on a rolling basis and typically responds within 4–6 weeks. We may reach out with follow-up questions or invite you to present at one of our Wednesday meetings. All applicants will be notified of the committee's decision.
