Grants Awarded

The Rotary Club of Lakewood Ranch has been dedicated, since its inception in April 2001, to supporting local and international charities. The Annual Suncoast Winefestival, the largest fund raising activity held by the Rotary Club of Lakewood Ranch, along with golf tournaments and other special events has enabled our Club to generously support these worthwhile endeavors. Rotarians contribute thousands of hours to make these fund raising events a success as well as spend time in the community participating in projects funded. Each year numerous charities, selected through a grant application process open to all area 501 (c)(3) charities, are selected to be the grant recipients of the annual net proceeds.
