Grants and Projects Funded
Lincoln Rotary Club 14 Foundation is the conduit for all of our charitable giving and community service projects. In 2022, we achieved the significant milestone of having awarded nearly $2 Million in grants, scholarships and awards since the inception of the Foundation in 1997. The Foundation's project and grant implementation plan dedicates a portion of our earnings to fund club projects while also setting aside a portion of those earnings to build future giving capacity and to support club “Signature Projects”. In 2010, we made a major community gift of $100,000 to help fund the Elliott Park & Playground Project as our Centennial Project. Our 2020 Signature Project was a gift of $200,000 to help renovate the Bicentennial Cascade Foundation, also know as the "Teachers' Fountain". In addition, through important club projects like our annual fundraising activities, we are able to provide support to major community efforts and scholarship programs on an ongoing basis.
