Mission
THE LACEY ROTARY FOUNDATION ENHANCES THE CLUB'S ABILITY TO PROVIDE EDUCATION SCHOLARSHIPS AND SPECIAL CIVIC PROJECTS FOR OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY. AS A 501(C)(3) CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION, THE FOUNDATION EXPANDS THE CLUB'S RESOURCES TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY AT A HIGHER LEVEL AND ALLOWS THE BROAD COMMUNITY TO PARTICIPATE. SCHOLARSHIPS ARE AWARDED TO LOCAL GRADUATING HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WHO EXEMPLIFY THE ROTARY IDEAL OF "SERVICE ABOVE SELF". CIVIC PROJECTS ARE SELECTED BY THE LACEY ROTARY CLUB BOARD OF DIRECTORS. THE FOUNDATION PROVIDES A NUMBER OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION VIA TRUSTS, PLANNED GIVING, ANNUAL MEMBER CONTRIBUTIONS AND GRANTS.
