Serving By Giving
We Began With A Dream...
Have you ever had a dream?
Did you want to make a difference?
We did.
As Rotarians, we follow the motto Service Above Self. Since we were established in 1971, the Rotary Club of Dublin has responded to the changing needs and challenges of the Local and International Communities by participating in programs and service projects that improve lives.
But we wanted to do more.
In 2007 we established the Rotary Club of Dublin Foundation with $50,000 from club members.
The purpose of the Foundation is to advance the educational, charitable and cultural interests of the residents of the City of Dublin, California and the surrounding area.
We continue to raise funds for the foundation, and every year give back to our community.
Since 2013/14, we have awarded 64 scholarships for a total exceeding $127,500.
How You Can Help Us
The Rotary Club of Dublin Foundation provides a unique vehicle for our members and community sponsors to support these activities. Your donation can directly involve you in education, youth, and community projects.
Because it is a professionally managed endowment fund supervised by a Board of Trustees, supporters of the Rotary Club of Dublin Foundation can be assured the work of Rotary is continued and multiplied to serve those people who need it most.
Please join us in Serving by Giving and contribute to the Rotary Club of Dublin Foundation today.
Community Projects and Giving
School of Imagination
In April 2023, the Foundation supported the School of Imagination with a $2,500 donation to support buying iPads for their Augmentative and Alternative Communication program, which is designed to help children with communication difficulties. With the AAC app installed on these devices, students are better able to communicate their needs and wants, engage in social interactions, and learn more effectively.
By contributing to the Rotary Club of Dublin Foundation you are directly participating in advancing education, youth, and community projects.
