Local Foundation

The Wisconsin Rapids Rotary Clubs maintain their own foundations. Each foundation is charitable and contributions are solicited from all club members once each year. Bequests are also received by each foundation. Funds are used for charitable programs within the community, youth Exchange programs, and other projects that have been approved by the Foundation Board of Directors. The foundations place special emphasis on youth.

Estate Planning? Think Rotary!

Rotary can be the gift that keeps giving. Consider supporting our local Rotary Foundation as a part of your legacy. Ask Al Bardole, Chuck Gibbons, or Dan Guck how Rotary can be included in your estate planning.

International Foundation

The objective of the foundation is the furthering of understanding and friendly relations between people of different nations through projects of an educational or charitable nature. Educational awards are to individuals (non-Rotarians) for post-graduate study in countries other than their own.
