Our Foundation
The Waunakee Rotary Foundation uses proceeds from fundraisers, donations received and other sources to distribute grants and funding of benefit to those in the Waunakee school district, the surrounding area and all over the world. The Waunakee Rotary Foundation board of directors consists of the Rotary Club’s five most recent past-presidents.  Its funding priorities are established by the members of the Waunakee Rotary Club.  The Waunakee Rotary Foundation is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization and donations it receives may be deductible for tax purposes.
