The Rotary Club of Carlsbad has a foundation to fund scholarships for local students. Since 1980 the club’s foundation has awarded hundreds of scholarships to students in the community; giving many young adults a chance to fulfill their dreams. It is organized as a 501(C)(3), Federal ID# 95-3489812, not-for-profit organization.
Carlsbad Rotary Foundation began in 1980 with a gift of $20,000 from Bill Smith, a club member. The Club, through various fundraisers, contributes to the principal of the scholarship fund. As a rule, only the earnings are used to fund the scholarships awarded. Over $50,000 has been awarded over the last 4 years! We estimate that over $400,000 has been awarded since inception of the Foundation! The Foundation is governed by a Board of Directors, comprised of current or former Rotary Club of Carlsbad members.
Why contribute to the foundation? The foundation is focused on buildings a strong and vital Carlsbad in which to live, work, and raise children. To do this, it is committed to providing educational assistance to students from this community, at schools in this community, and in disciplines that are needed by this community. Please help by contributing to this work.
