Since launching its first project in 1972-73, Rotary has contributed over $1 million to community organizations, supporting initiatives such as the Rotary International Student Center on UA’s campus, the Tuscaloosa Public Library, Salvation Army, Bama Theatre, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, and many others.

Applications are now open for TRMF’s upcoming grants to be awarded in late 2025. Projects must be brick-and-mortar projects, and the total award will be no more than $50,000.
