“Our club has awarded grants to local groups; including Maywood Fine Arts, Best of Proviso, Housing Forward, The Answer, Inc., School Health Coalition, Real Foods Collective, Way Back Inn, DLD For Youth, Neighbors of Maywood Community Org (NOMCO), Maywood Youth Mentoring, Proviso Partners For Health, and the St. Eulalia Quinn Center", said Dr. Susan Flannagan, Club Treasurer.

The Rotary Club of Maywood-Proviso has been supporting area and global charities for over 100 years. Grants typically run from $250.00 - $2,000.00 per organization, but allocation decisions are made by our entire club and are not necessarily predictable."
