Rotary Community Foundation
The Rotary Community Foundation was formed in 1996 as a public charity (IRC 501c3, Tax Exempt) under the sponsorship of the Cameron Park Rotary Club. It is a corporation with its own Board of Directors, all of whom are members of the Cameron Park Rotary Club.

The Foundation receives contributions from both non-Rotarians and Rotarians, and has been very active in providing scholarships to young people graduating from all high schools on the western slope of El Dorado County.

All members of the Board of Directors are volunteers who serve without any form of compensation. Any funds received for specific purposes, such as scholarships, are totally expended for the designated purpose and are not reduced for administrative costs or expenses.
