In 1960, the Rotary Club of Green Bay established a charitable foundation under the direction of Karl M. Feldhausen, a past president of our club. There is a separate Board of Directors elected to direct and administer the assets of this important Foundation.

The Rotary Club of Green Bay is keenly aware of its civic responsibilities to build goodwill and friendship within the community. Fund recipients and amounts given are determined by the board of directors of the Rotary Foundation of Green Bay, Inc. The board of directors acts within the guidelines of the Foundation's charter, as well as the guidelines set forth herein.

Next Meeting: August 20, 2007

Funds allocated but not distributed in one fiscal year can be carried over to the next fiscal year.
