The Akron Rotary Foundation
Just like the Rotary Foundation of Rotary International, which was created in 1917 for the purpose of "doing good in the world," the Akron Rotary Foundation supports activities for youths and is dedicated to furthering world understanding and peace.
The Akron Rotary Foundation Board consists of nine directors who serve a three-year term each. Three of the directors rotate on, and three rotate off the Board at the beginning of each calendar year. The nine directors on the Board elect their own officers for the Foundation, which consist of a President, Secretary, and Treasurer. The Board invests, grows then distributes the moneys to Rotary and community projects. These Directors invest, manage, and grow the Foundation dollars.
The Akron Rotary Foundation is committed to guidance, support, and education of area youth and special needs children. This is best said in the Akron Rotary Foundation's Vision and Mission Statements which read:
