Who we are

The Bloomington Rotary Foundation (BRF) was established in 1986 in order to accept tax-exempt gifts supporting the club’s activities. Initial funding for BRF came from gifts made by club members in memory of deceased Rotarians and spouses. 
​
In 1998, the BRF opened an endowment fund at the Community Foundation of Bloomington and Monroe County (CFBMC); BRF’s initial contribution was matched by $7,500 from the Lilly Endowment. By 2023, the endowment fund had grown to over $80,000.

Our Programs

The BRF serves two key purposes – raising and providing funds to the club for important charitable and educational efforts and serving as a 501(c)(3) organization to accept tax-exempt donations for club efforts.
