2013 - 2014 ANNUAL REPORT

The Foundation’s Role Established in 1956, the Columbus Rotary Foundation is a private, 501 (c) 3 corporation that functions as the philanthropic arm of Columbus Rotary. Annual contribu-tions to the Columbus Rotary Foundation are added to its investment and endowment funds which allows for an annual allocation to the Columbus Rotary Club. The Club in turn awards grants in support of Columbus Rotary community and international projects throughout the year. Foundation grants are provided to recipients for a variety of purposes. These include youth programs, educational efforts, youth economic training programs, community revitalization projects, cultural endeavors and other activities that are important to making the Columbus community a better place to work, live and raise a family.

Columbus Rotary’s distinguished legacy of service spans 102+ years and ranges from our longest standing service project ~ the Colerain Christmas Party ~ to our most recent contribution to the community, the Columbus Rotary Obstacle Course at the Scioto Audubon Metro Park. Through the years, our unparalleled commit-ment to Columbus City Schools has been demonstrated through scholarships, the Service Above Self Fairs, Enterprise Academy and other programs vested in the future of our youth. And our commit-ment to the youth of the world is demonstrated through programs such as the Rafiki Orphanage, Free To Smile Missions, Group Study Exchange and Youth Exchange.

These, as well as all our service projects, are made possible each year through the generosity of our Members. This legacy truly sets Columbus Rotary apart and distinguishes our Members for provid-ing significant service around the city and around the globe. This Annual Report is but a small way of recognizing Columbus Rotary Members whose contributions help continue the vital work of Columbus Rotary and its Foundation.

We thank you for your past, and your future, financial support of the Columbus Rotary Foundation.
