On Tuesday, November 19, 2024 the Alameda Rotary Club presented $19,750 in matching grants to nonprofit organizations to support the important services and support that they provide in our community. The grants were presented at a meeting at Trinity Lutheran Church, which provided its Fellowship Hall for the event. Alameda Education Foundation received a matching grant from the Alameda Rotary Club along with several other non-profits in Alameda.
The grants are “matching” because individual Rotarians can make a donation to a worthy nonprofit in our community and then have our club’s foundation “match” that amount to double their donation.

When the Alameda Education Foundation (AEF) began running our annual backpack and school supply drive in 2012, the Alameda Point Collaborative (APC) was one of our first community partners. According to APC Children and Youth Manager Sara Christensen, APC initially lined up backpacks on a table for parents to pick up. But the staff at APC soon recognized that AEF’s annual donation of backpacks and school supplies provided an opportunity to do much more for their families.
