Why support the Rotary Club of Kent Foundation?
With your help in 2024, we raised approximately $100,000 for the greater Kent community and our international projects, including:
- Backpack Buddies, our club’s program to provide weekend food to students experiencing food insecurity;
- College scholarships to local high school seniors;
- Community grants; and
- International projects.
The Rotary Club of Kent has been serving the greater Kent Community since 1958. The Rotary Club of Kent Foundation is the Club’s 501(c)(3) foundation to which tax deductible donations can be made. All the net proceeds of our annual auction will be used to support our local and international projects, including food and water insecurity scholarships, education, and other community service non-profit organizations. None of the funds raised at the auction benefit the Club or its members.
