Welcome
Schaumburg A.M. Rotary Club Foundation is a registered tax exempt 501(c)(3) charitable organization that supports the mission of Rotary International by providing services to others that promotes understanding, goodwill and peace in both our local community and around the world through the improvement of health, the support of education, and the alleviation of poverty. The foundation funds the club's humanitarian service activities including local service projects, vocational scholarships, global initiatives and much more.
Our foundation conducts a variety of annual community event-based fundraisers. Proceeds support Rotary International initiatives as well as select local and international charities, as determined annually by our Community Grant Review Committee.
To be considered for a grant all applicants must speak on their behalf at a club meeting prior to the start of our grant application review process which usually takes place anywhere during the late April - May time frame. Grants are awarded at our Community Grants Awards Breakfast in June. To schedule a speaking date on the club's calendar please contact our Club Service Director.
