Glenville Foundation

History of Glenville Rotary Foundation

The Foundation was established by the Glenville Rotary Club to allow longer-term planning and fundraising to augment its charitable community service objectives. Foremost is the Foundation’s annual scholarship award to high school graduates who have exemplified the Rotary motto of “service beyond self” through extraordinary community service. At this time there are two scholarship opportunities: one for a college-bound student and one for a trade-school bound student.

Mission:

The Foundation was established by the Glenville Rotary Club to augment its charitable community service objectives. The Foundation manages an endowment fund with interest earned on assets disbursed through actions of an independent Board of Directors elected by the Club Membership. Foundation board members serve voluntarily and are responsible for the management of the corporation. The By-laws of the Foundation and the Certificate of Incorporation govern the actions of the Board.

High School Scholarship:

The Glenville Rotary Club & Foundation awards two different scholarships to graduating seniors that resides within the Town of Glenville. We have completed our review of applications for the 2023-24 school year, but will be accepting applications again in early 2025. Please check back for details on those scholarships.
