Dublin AM Rotary & Charitable Foundation

In 1990 a group of twenty Dublin business leaders worked together to charter Dublin AM Rotary. As a Rotary International club, Dublin AM Rotary’s main objective is service - in our own community, in the workplace and around the globe. The club has grown to over 120 members, all committed to improving the lives of people through volunteerism and support of projects in Dublin, the United States and the world.Dublin AM club members are actively engaged in community service throughout Central Ohio. Our projects are as diverse as our members. Each initiative the club takes on is driven by the passion and sense of service of members who serve as advocates within our club and our greater community.Both Dublin AM Rotary and Rotary International focus funding and service on six areas critical to improving the lives of families:Basic education and literacyMaternal and child healthWater and sanitationDisease prevention and treatmentPeace and conflict prevention and resolutionFrom ringing red kettle bells for The Salvation Army to provide funds for Welcome Warehouse, funding fresh water wells in the Phillippines to fitting prosthetic hands in Rwanda, Dublin AM members serve to help families build better lives.In 1997 the club created the Dublin AM Charitable Foundation. The Foundation, a 501(c)3 organization serves as the recipient of funds raised through events and donations. Funds are maintained at The Columbus Foundation. Funds for these life changing projects are raised through DublinAM Rotary Community fundraisers and contributions from individuals and corporations.Individual donations are gratefully accepted by the Dublin AM Charitable Foundation. One-time donations as well as beneficiary donations are used to increase the foundation  endowment and the group’s ability to offer community grants.Dublin AM Rotary club members have created two community events where members, friends and neighbors can enjoy themselves and raise money for the foundation.•Aces High, a casino night with games, entertainment and food•Polar Bear Golf Open, an opportunity to golf in February in OhioBoth events are supported through tickets sales as well as individual and corporate sponsors. All monies raised directly benefit the foundation.Each year the Foundation board meets to review grant requests from both the club and outside groups.In the 20 plus years of service to the community, the Dublin AM Charitable Foundation has provided over $750,000 in grants.Those grants include support forThe Salvation Army                             Nationwide Children’s HospitalYWCA                                                  Welcome WarehouseDublin Food Pantry                              LN-4 Prosthetic Hand ProjectEquine Therapy                                               Scholarship ProgramsProject Dictionary                                Dublin Veteran’s Memorial ProjectCentral Ohio Robotics Initiative                       Habitat for HumanityProject Ear                                          Free to Smile...and many moreDublin AM Rotary members value their relationships with friends and area businesses who help the club through their donations of time and money.
