Formed in 1996 by members of the Rotary Club of Greenwood, the Greenwood Rotary Club Foundation was created to be a supporting organization of the Club, to support and benefit its charitable purposes. The original focus of the Foundation’s charitable mission was children’s welfare, but going forward it will fully support the grants program of the Club by providing annual funding from the endowment.
The primary source of funding for the Foundation has been the “John Welborn Challenge,” named for a distinguished Club member who requested that all members, at the first meeting after their birthdays, make contributions to the Foundation equal to or greater than their ages.
The Rotary Club of Greenwood annually grants thousands of dollars to nonprofit organizations in Greenwood County that work to improve the quality of life in our community.
