The Rotary Club of Peoria
Endowment Fund
Established June 15, 1999
The Endowment Fund is created from donations of cash and/or securities. The earnings and up to 25% of the principal may be used annually for causes recommended by the Endowment Committee and approved by the Rotary Club Board of Directors.
Our membership expressed a willingness to combine citizenship, service and philanthropy to make a more visible impact on the quality of life in Central Illinois. Beneficiaries will be organizations and causes consistent with the values and goals of the Rotary Club of Peoria.
A Rotary Endowment Committee, made of existing Board of Directors and Past-Presidents, will develop strategies for growing the endowment and suggesting allocations of funds. Ultimately, the Board of Directors will be responsible for action on proposed activities. The Peoria Area Community Foundation will be responsible for the monies collected.

| Charter Membership A gift of $250 or more received by December 31, 2000 will qualify the donor as a Charter Member.

Your gift can double or triple if your employer is a matching gift company. Please send a matching gift form with your donation. Your designated annual gifting level will include the match.

The Rotary Club of Peoria Board of Directors voted approval of the Endowment Fund on June 15, 1999.
At the board meeting August 17, 1999, a contribution of $10,000 from the club’s treasury was allocated to the Endowment Fund as a demonstration of support for the concept.
