Royal Neighbors of America Launches Difference Maker Fund

/EIN News/ -- MESA, Ariz., Jan. 28, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- It pays to be good. Royal Neighbors of America, one of the oldest, women-led life insurers in the U.S., announced the launch of its Difference Maker Fund, a new program that offers Royal Neighbors members* $200 in seed money to support a community project that aligns with the life insurer's mission

Dear readers, please note that fhis post is a near-straight feed from a newswire with some comments about how the recipients will be selected and judged. The offer comes from from an all-women professional group selling life insurance with a social cause tie-in.

Every February the life insurance industry has a campaign called Insure Your Love

Royal Neighbors is reaching out to members who have a vision to help their community and a crew of family along with friends who want to help make it happen. Our new program, the Difference Maker Fund, offers members $200 of seed money to support a community project that aligns with Royal Neighbors’ mission.

 

The focus is to improve the community and cover at least one of the following purposes:

• Support a charitable cause that specifically helps women and/or girls
• Support women who organize and complete community service projects
• Provide financial literacy opportunities for women, girls, or other community groups

General Guidelines:
Projects can be a fund-raiser, service activity, or educational event. All Royal Neighbors members are eligible to apply for one grant per year. Members are encouraged to form volunteer teams of friends, family, and people in their community to help with the project. Team members do not have to be Royal Neighbors members to participate. Only 60 grants will be awarded each quarter so apply soon!

Funds are limited to seed money to get new projects started. Grants will be awarded at the sole discretion of Royal Neighbors of America and a post-event report is required. Funds cannot be used as a direct monetary contribution (re-grant), nor can multiple members apply to receive grants for the same project or event.
An Added Bonus!
Be sure to complete a post-even report! Those projects with submitted reports and the highest number of “likes” and “shares” on the Royal Neighbors' Facebook page will win a $500 prize  towards the charitable organization helped by that project.
All remaining projects with qualified final reports will be entered into a drawing for a second $500 prize, also to be awarded to the cause served by the project.
Don’t wait. Act now
