Waunakee Rotary | Local History, Part 2

The foundation holds a tax-exempt status and is responsible for taking in funds from major club fund raisers and then distributing those funds to the organization's major charities and to the Rotary International Organization.

The long-term goal of the foundation is to fund additional worthy projects as requested by the club. That goal is to be achieved by increasing its assets through fund raising programs and through bequest from members and the public at large. The foundation has also accepted the responsibility of choosing the club's "Paul Harris" recipients.
