Areas of Focus: Peacebuilding and conflict prevention, Basic education and literacy
Activity Type:
Education: Literacy
Summary: The grant will purchase classroom resources and materials, books and a display about service to benefit local schools.
Boise Centennial Rotary has identified Basic Education and Literacy as one of its primary areas of focus. To continue building on the work done with previous district grants, we will once again partner with local schools to provide materials and resources to improve literacy outcomes in our community. We are calling this project, Celebrating Service Through Literacy & Learning.
To increase reach and impact, Boise Centennial Rotary will be partnering with the Idaho Network of Museums and Centers for Service to co-create inclusive materials that promote literacy and learning through the lens of service. These materials will include literacy resources and curriculum ($350), books ($1200) and a display ($750) that can be used at multiple schools.
Our goals are:
1. Provide children in the community with materials to improve educational outcomes
2. Spread Rotary's mission and dedication to service above self by creating community conversations with students and teachers
3. Engage Rotarians and community partners and schools in the co-creation of the exhibit and classroom materials
4. Create a sustainable model that can be reused in future years and across a range of school and community civic engagement
Paid
This project is "Paid". This means that the funds from the district have been issued. This project is now being ready for implementation. When this is done, a report needs to be uploaded on the project page and the "Reported" button needs to be clicked, then the status of the project will be changed to "Reported".
I cancelled your signature process so that you can address some concerns with your application. 1. 2025-26 club president cannot be the project manager. Pls change the name of the primary contact person to someone else in the club. 2. Your narrative doesn't make clear the relationship/connection between "essential classroom materials that will lead to student success" and "the development of a traveling storytelling exhibit". Sounds like you're trying to wrap 2 projects into one, and we only allow 1 project per application. Your narrative needs more clarity about what you're wanting to do. Replace vague language with specifics. 3. Provide specific statement of Rotarian involvement. 4. Provide info as to your budget. Why this amount of money? How is it to be spent?

There was an error in the recent notification that the District's block grant has been approved by The Rotary Foundation. The date should have been July 15, 2025. When reporting your grant upon project completion, your receipts will need to show expenses incurred after that date. Thank you for participating in TRF grants!

390 books were purchased on 1/08/2026 for the Whitney Elementary Book Fair. The books were passed out by Rotarians at the school's book Carnival by Boise Centennial Rotarians. All books included a sticker with information about Rotary, the 4 Way Test, and the Boise Centennial Rotary logo. The school's book club will begin 2/2 and continue for two weeks. In addition, one little library with signage that includes information about Rotary was built.
