SHORELINE ROTARY FOUNDATION

This is the charitable umbrella organization founded in 1999 by the Rotary Club of Shoreline.  The purpose of the Foundation was:  1.  To: qualify donations and proceeds of fundraising efforts for the  Internal Revenue Service’s status as a 501 (c) (3) non-profit charitable organization.   2.  To establish an Endowment Fund to broaden the opportunity to expand perpetuate the gifting to worthy causes, and 3.  Provide for a meaningful and orderly method of determining the needs to which funds should be distributed.   The Rotary Club of Shoreline Breakfast was invited to join the Foundation in 2000.

The proceeds of fund raising events hosted in behalf of the Foundation by both clubs are in turn given back to the local and world wide community to address the concerns of youth, aged, disadvantaged, and disabled in the spirit of Service-Above-Self and a desire to work toward world peace and understanding.  The causes are many and are directed into the areas of Community, Vocational and International service.  Four members of each club manage the activities of the Foundation.  These Trustees meet monthly. 

 The annual Golf Tournament will be on Monday August 11, 2008 .   The generous sponsorships, donations of money, products, services, and in-kind contributions of the Foundation members and the community businesses are gratefully accepted.  The continued support of the members of the Foundation and their spouses is the backbone of the success of the fund raising events and ultimately the Shoreline Rotary Foundation.
