Orange Rotary Community Trust Fund
The Orange Rotary Community Trust was established April 19, 1990. The purpose of the Trust is to fund community projects such as: scholarships, teacher mini grants, outreach assistance and self help programs. The financial support for these projects is derived from earned interest from endowments and fund raising events.

As background, the Orange Rotary Club established the Trust in order to provide a stable, reliable multi year funding for various service projects. Without this financing vehicle, many worthy projects could not be undertaken due to the annual nature of traditional Rotary Club funding.

Also, many members of the community sought ways in which to support the work of the Community Trust, without becoming Rotary members.  Yet they wished to enjoy the tax advantages reserved for charitable giving.

Therefore, to meet these needs, The Orange Rotary Community Trust was created as a 501c3 charitable Community Trust, under the laws of the Internal Revenue Service, The Trust provides everyone, member and none members alike, a way to support the many fine projects of Orange Rotary in a secure and tax-deductible form.

We urge you to explore our many projects and hope that you will decide to help us to serve our community and the world.  Donations may be sent to:
