To our Hudson Rotary Club members, our community, and our donors,

The Hudson Rotary Foundation continues activities from fundraising to the charitable and community works that have characterized this Rotary organization for years. The key to our success is obviously our people and the adherence to our goals and the vision of the Hudson Rotary Foundation:

To provide opportunities for young people, work for the relief of the special needs of others, and to improve the quality of life in the community of Hudson.
To support and contribute to the success of activities that Hudson Rotarians commit to.
To fund scholarships for high school and college students.
To ensure that charitable beneficiaries selected and approved by The Hudson Rotary Club are eligible beneficiaries under the Foundation’s charter, bylaws, and IRS regulations.
To educate and inform Hudson Rotarians about the activities of The Hudson Rotary Foundation on an ongoing basis.
To adhere to the highest standards of integrity and accountability in the management of these funds.

The hallmark of the 75 year old Hudson Rotary Club has been its scholarship program. Hudson Rotarians provide the manpower to carefully interview and select deserving students from the area to receive scholarships that are typically renewed throughout their schooling. The Hudson Rotary Foundation has and will continue to provide the financing necessary to grant these scholarships to many students from the area as they work through colleges and vocational programs. The Foundation has also supported organizations that provide a service to our community such as our local Hospice Program. It sponsored The Hudson Bicentennial Commission and provided funding for the preservation of the historic Case Barlow Farm. The Foundation supported Hudson's local community cable television Channel 25 and shared fundraising proceeds with our local Boy Scout Foundation. The Hudson Rotary Foundation also supplied the Hudson Middle School Band with new musical instruments in the past.

We are very grateful to have the support of our donors as we continue to build our permanent endowment fund to support many charitable and community projects in the future.
