About Us Introduction

The main objective of Rotary is service — in the community, in the workplace, and throughout the world. Rotarians develop community service projects that address many of today's most critical issues, such as children at risk, poverty and hunger, the environment, illiteracy, and violence. We also support programs for youth, educational opportunities and international exchanges for students, teachers, and other professionals, and vocational and career development.

Our Philanthropic Work...

In addition to supporting the world-wide Rotary International Foundation Program, the Rotary Club of Harrisburg has its own foundation to support local causes. This foundation develops policy on areas of charitable interest and solicits proposals and makes grants annually. The Foundation is the repository of all funds realized on activities carried out for charitable and educational purposes. All monies appropriated out of the regular funds of the Club for he foregoing purposes shall likewise be paid into the Foundation. The Foundation shall be administered by a Board of Trustees consisting of nine members of the Club. The Trustees meet a minimum of once in each quarter. All requests for contributions made to the Club will be investigated by the Foundation Trustees and after due deliberation be voted on by the same. In addition to the administration of all expenditures of the Club for charitable and educational purposes, the Foundation will investigate and screen all money-raising projects suggested for the club’s adoption. A long-range consistent purpose will guide the Foundation in its recommendation of suitable projects.
