The Suburban Rotary Charitable Foundation

The Suburban Rotary Charitable Foundation originated in 1988 when two members were leaving a memorial service for a fellow member's son who lost his life in an avalanche in the Colorado Rockies. They believed it would be good for Suburban Rotary to have a foundation for tax-deductible donations from memorials, other contributions that could be used for the club's scholarship program, and other worthwhile causes.  

The foundation has a separate board of trustees and is a separate legal entity from the Suburban Rotary Club.  The seven-member board is comprised of the current club president, the three immediate past presidents, and five club members elected at large to serve for three years.

Scholarship Program

The Suburban Rotary Club has provided over $1,000,000 in scholarships to area high school graduates who wish to continue their post-high school education.
