A Message to District Clubs from the Rotary District 6250 Foundation, Inc. Board
The Rotary District 6250 Foundation, Inc. was established in the 2011-2012 Rotary year. It is a Wisconsin non-profit corporation that enjoys 501(c)(3) status which allows contributions to be tax exempt. The District Foundation is not designed to compete with existing club foundations or the Rotary International Foundation, but to provide important services to our District.
First, it will be available for use by clubs that do not have their own local foundation. We have many Rotary clubs in our District that do not want to financially establish and support a local foundation. However, they would benefit from the opportunity for tax exempt fundraisers for Rotary projects. Much like a community foundation, the Rotary District 6250 Foundation allows designated accounts for any club within our District wishing to use the District Foundation. All funds raised by the club are maintained in a separate account for that particular club’s Rotary projects.
The second important feature of the Rotary District 6250 Foundation concerns emergency disaster relief. We have seen tragedy strike in the past and Rotarians respond. Often we make individual contributions and on occasion, contributions through our clubs. The Rotary District 6250 Foundation allows individuals and Rotary Clubs willing to support disaster relief to make their contribution to the Rotary District 6250 Foundation, Inc. and receive a tax deduction. Combining our efforts, a more substantial gift can then be made in the name of Rotary from our District directly to the Rotary District where the disaster has occurred.
The third benefit provided by the Rotary District 6250 Foundation is for specialized funds to support Rotary programs within our District, such as RYLA, Interact, and Youth Exchange. For example, the La Crosse Valley View Rotary Club made a donation in excess of $20,000.00 to the Rotary District 6250 Foundation to support scholarships for Youth Exchange in what has been designated the McKinney-Marshall Fund. Other Rotary clubs and Rotarians who wish to support this cause can make contribution knowing that their donations are not only tax deductible, but will be dedicated for that specific purpose.
If you have suggestions or questions concerning the Rotary District 6250 Foundation, you are encouraged to contact a member of the Board of Directors directly.
