The Foundation is funded with…:
- Donations: Over the years, our members and non-members alike have made contributions. They are assured that their donations to the fund will elevate RBRCF to a level where it can underwrite significant community needs and respond to emergencies.
- Fundraisers: The primary fundraiser is the “Vines & Vittles,” a family-oriented festival held every spring at Webb Lake in Rancho Bernardo. The See’s Candy High School Scholarships fundraiser is year-round.
- Investment Growth: To achieve the Foundation Board ‘s goal of financial prudence, the funds are invested through a fiduciary financial management firm. This has resulted in consistent positive returns.
- Planned Giving: Gifts bequeathed by donors, both members and non-members, who have recognized the importance of contributing assets to RBRCF, which makes a difference in so many lives.
Anyone—Rotarian or not—can make a difference by contributing to the Rancho Bernardo Rotary Club Foundation (RBRCF). Your support can take many forms, including monetary donations (big or small), participation in fundraising events, financial backing for specific projects, or Planned Giving. No matter how you choose to give, you can be confident that your contribution will directly support meaningful initiatives that help others.
The RBRCF operates independently from the Rotary Club to maintain its tax-exempt status as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (Federal Tax ID #95-3296211). This means that all donations are fully tax-deductible—a great way to give while also receiving tax benefits.
