Activated in 1972, the Foundation has grown through income from memorial gifts, tribute gifts, unused income from investments, individual gifts and excess Club funds that the Rotary Club of Tigard may transfer to the Foundation at the close of a fiscal year.
Each year, at the quarterly meeting in the spring, the Foundation Directors advise the next year’s Club President how much income the club can expect to have at its disposal. This amount is determined upon review of the Foundation’s Board of Directors and takes into account the Minimum Holdings Level, below which the corpus may not be reduced. The Minimum Holding Level is based on a formula involving the number of members in the Rotary Club of Tigard, plus a percentage of earned income.
The Club Officers then recommend what charitable uses the funds are to be spent on and request the Foundation to disburse accordingly at the appropriate times. The Foundation is managed by nine Directors, three of whom are elected each year at the Foundation’s annual meeting in September. Thereafter, the Directors elect the Foundation Officers (Chair, Vice-Chair, Secretary and Treasurer) for the year.
The Rotary Club of Tigard Foundation is a 501 (c) 3 charitable organization. Tax ID 93-1320719.
