Dear Kathy, 

At your Community Foundation, we envision healthy, resilient, thriving communities, supported by a culture of generosity. Within this vision for our communities, we are committed to our role as the local giving partner to ensure lasting community impact.  

One way that we partner for lasting community impact is through our endowments, like the  Community Foundation Rotary Endowment, which offers matching grants to leverage individual giving by local Rotarians.

We recently granted $16,001.24 to match the individual giving of members of your Rotary Club. 

We appreciate the role you play in facilitating this process for members of your Rotary Club and for the Community Foundation. The next opportunity to submit for the matching grants is June 1.

The matching request form is also available on our website at www.gtrcf.org/rotaryendowment or CLICK HERE

Thank you again for your role in supporting healthy, resilient, thriving communities. 

Regards, 

David Mengebier 

President and CEO 


The Rotary Endowment was created in 1999, with a gift from Rotary Charities, creating a partnership that is reflective of the quality of philanthropic intent and integrity that makes this a wonderful place to live, work, and give. The opportunity for  Rotarians to have their charitable giving matched by the Community Foundation through this Endowment makes an incredible difference for communities throughout our five-county region. 


 
$10,715.00 was matched in the first half of 2020
$16,001.24 was matched in the second half of 2020
 
A total of $26,716.24 was donated to area nonprofits by the Rotary Club of Traverse City Rotarians and matched with the Rotary Endowment at the Community Foundation in 2020.
