Community Service Project Request

 

The Zonta Club of Cape Girardeau is currently in the process of drafting our 2025-2026 Service Projects, which will begin June 1, 2025.  As a result, we are in the process of accepting applications for funding and/or volunteer support.  
A service project should meet the following criteria:  

  • It must focus on Zonta's mission of "building a better world for women and girls".  
  • It must benefit women or girls on the local or district level
  • It must address one or both of the following factors: 
    -Empowerment of women in general to achieve equal rights and secure their access to legal, political, economic, educational, health and professional resources.
    -Prevention of violence against women and girls. 
A service project is an activity carried out by Zonta members in which they participate actively and personally in organizing and giving 'hands-on' service, not only providing fundraising for the project.  All financial requests must be accompanied with a practical hands-on service project, but service projects can be submitted without any financial request.  It can be a 'once only' project or ongoing. 

A hand-on service project may be partnered with another like-minded organization or organizations in accordance with the other organizations policy and guidelines. 

An advocacy aspect is desirable 

Zonta's credibility must be protected.  

The project should give visibility to Zonta and have wide media coverage, especially in terms of beneficiaries. 

If you wish to make a request of funds and/or volunteer support, please fill out the application and include a copy of your organization’s 501c3.

The deadline for applications is April 1, 2025.
