The Rotaract Club of Birmingham Foundation, a registered 501(c)(3) organization,  exists to receive donations from the general public, publicly supported organizations, and governmental units and make disbursements for the service projects of the Rotaract Club of Birmingham.  The Rotaract Club of Birmingham Foundation was created as an entity to clearly separate service funds from club operating funds of the Rotaract Club of Birmingham.

Future activities of the Rotaract Club of Birmingham Foundation include maintaining the Ready 2 Read classroom libraries and organizing volunteer manpower for ongoing Reading Role Models.  Additional future activities include designing, funding, and implementing future Signature Service Projects of the Rotaract Club of Birmingham.  While Ready 2 Read, our first major service project, was fully implemented in 2008, another team is simultaneously researching potential future Signature Service Projects.

All proceeds from Rotaract’s Annual Masquerade Ball will benefit the Rotaract Club of Birmingham Foundation.  Since its founding in 2004, the Club has raised $275,000 for its Foundation.  Through sponsorships and event proceeds, the Club seeks to raise an additional $75,000 in 2011.
