The Rotary Club of Newnan is accepting applications for its 2026-27 community grant program, which provides funding to nonprofit organizations serving Coweta County. Applications opened Sept. 1 and will be accepted through 5 p.m. Nov. 1. Eligible organizations must have qualified 501(c)(3) status for at least three years and operate a program or project that serves Coweta County residents. The club’s community grants support a wide range of local needs, including youth programs, literacy, food assistance, shelter and counseling, vocational education, programs for older adults, medical and dental care, environmental projects and animal welfare. The program does not fund for-profit businesses, political organizations or campaigns, fundraising events, existing debt or programs outside Coweta County. Last year’s recipients included Coweta Ferst Readers, which used grant funding to mail 714 books to preschool children; Coweta Samaritan Clinic, which provided care to 507 uninsured adults; ELEVATE Coweta Students, which supported a mentoring network of more than 235 volunteers; Southern Arc Dance Theater, which expanded adaptive dance programs; and BTG Community Outreach, which provided Christmas assistance to 12 local children. Money awarded through the program is raised locally, primarily through the Rotary Club of Newnan’s Tour of Coweta cycling event. “Raised here, spent here” is the guiding idea behind the program, according to the club. Applications must be submitted online…
