About Our Charitable Foundation

Water, Food. Shelter. Security, Health, Literacy, Peace

Too many of us take these crucial needs for granted. Nearly half the people on earth do not have clean water to drink. Nearly 1 in 30 people will be without a home in their lifetimes. These could be your family, friends, or colleagues.

The Brookline Rotary club has been contributing volunteers and funding to meet community needs since 1938. Major donors in particular prefer to donate to 501c3 non-profit organizations so that they can receive tax benefits in return for their donations. To meet this need and encourage larger donations we formed a charitable arm, the Brookline Rotary Charitable Foundation.

The club supports this Foundation. The Foundation does not support the club, but makes raises money and makes donations to non-profit organizations and other worthy projects within our Town and throughout the world.

Some examples:

ArtsBridge, empowering youth
Brookline Community Mental Health
Brookline Emergency Food Pantry
Brookline Greenspace Alliance
Brookline High School scholarships,
activities and special programs Brookline Senior Center
Brookline Teen Center
Brookline Thrives
Brookline Youth Awards
Greater Boston Food Bank
Jennifer Lynch Committee Against Domestic Violence
Steps to Success
Women Thriving, Inc.

In partnership with The Rotary Foundation, we fund provide volunteers and funding for amazing projects locally and internationally as well. A few examples:

Brookline High School Interact Club
Clean water for Brookline Sister City in Quezalguaque, Nicaragua
Healthy cooking on a budget
Partnering with Driscoll School KEEP club
Clean water for a village in Honduras
Humanitarian Aid to the people of Ukraine
Dental Clinic in Honduras
Literacy initiatives in Brookline libraries and in Cambodia
Low-cost housing developments
Rebuilt a school in Nepal after earthquake
Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) for students at Brookline’s High Schools
Rotaract for students at Boston University.

The Rotary Foundation (TRF) is one of the largest and most respected charities in the world. As a member Rotary Club we receive funds from TRF that multiply the impact of our own Foundation and the work of our volunteers.
