Grants to benefit an individual person are only given as an exception. 

Larger grants may be available on a case by case basis. 

The Rotary Club of the Livermore Valley will share information received in education related mini-grant applications, with the Livermore Valley Education Foundation (LVEF) as needed, to determine eligibility for LVEF and/or RCLV funding.  Application information might then be shared with Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District to determine if there is funding through the District that would replace the need of a RCLV or LVEF grant award.
