Thank you to our Sponsors... Interested? |
Thank you for your interest in supporting the local and international activities of the Rotary Club of Denver. There are many ways to support the Club’s efforts to provide humanitarian service and build goodwill and peace in the world. One significant way is to donate to one of our foundations and/or the Club’s fundraisers.
The Rotary Club of Denver supports and is in turn supported by two Foundations.
The Denver Rotary Club Foundation’s mission is to participate actively in the diverse life of our community through the grants it makes each year. The Foundation's grants emphasize our belief in the promise and value of youth and education, affirming our commitment to the humanitarian goals of Rotary. Over the past 18 years, the DRCF has contributed over $4.7 million to fund important local and international programs. DONATE NOW.
The mission of The Rotary Foundation is to enable Rotarians to advance world understanding, goodwill and peace through the improvement of health, the support of education and the alleviation of poverty. The Rotary Foundation is a not-for-profit corporation that is supported solely by voluntary contributions from Rotarians and friends of the Foundation who share its vision of a better world.
The Rotary Club of Denver's major fundraiser is the Branch Rickey Award banquet held in November each year. The 2009 event raised over $91,000, and has raised over $1.3 million since its inception in 1992. Online ticket purchasing will be available soon.
The Club also sponsors a Peach Sale each fall featuring some of the best Colorado peaches available. Since our first Peach Sale in 2004, this fun and delicious fundraiser has raised over $73 thousand for our two Foundations. Click Here to buy your Peaches after July.
Funding to aid victims of disasters due to acts of nature, terrorism or similar causes may be considered by the Trustees outside the normal granting cycle. The Foundation and the Club will work cooperatively to respond in a timely manner to local, national or international disasters. In most cases, donations will be made to a Rotary Club or District in the impacted area up to the following limits: Colorado - $5,000, National - $2,500, International - $1,000.
The Club will also encourage members to make donations to the Denver Rotary Club Foundation to be forwarded to the disaster area. Please DONATE NOW to the Haiti Earthquake Relief Fund.
In addition to giving a general/personal cash contribution to a foundation, fundraiser or disaster relief effort there are many other ways that individuals, families or corporations can give to the Rotary Club of Denver.
