Who we are:
Every year Cleveland Rotarians live the Rotary International maximize our “Service Above Self” motto! With countless hours of member planning and execution lead by our service committees, we provide a meaningful impact in our community, internationally, with our youth, and in the business community. These monetary contributions, service projects and programs are made possible because we are blessed to have current and past Cleveland Rotarians that understand the importance of a strong club foundation. When you give to The Cleveland Rotary Foundation 100% of your contribution is used to support our club and its philanthropic endeavors.
What we do:
Consider the many activities of our club – particularly those that are of interest to you – when deciding how much you will give. Is it recognizing an individual or organization for upholding Rotary’s ideals of "service above self" or the four-way test? Is it supporting the education and personal growth of students in Cleveland’s schools or providing desks and clean water for people we may never meet in far-away countries? Is it making Cleveland a welcoming city with beautiful plazas, gardens, and greenways or tending to its homeless by providing a warm meal or a place to sleep? Or perhaps it’s something else. Whatever the motivation, please give generously at a level that is meaningful to you.
Thank you:
To make your tax-deductible gift, please return your check made payable to the Cleveland Rotary Foundation or click the "donate now"button to pay by credit card. A gift of cash or check may also be made at the weekly Rotary meeting. On behalf of clubPresident, Arthur Ward, Foundation President, Julie Brouhard, and Chair of the Foundation Resource Committee Bryan Schauer, thank you for your commitment to furthering Rotary’s mission; and on behalf of the hundreds of individuals who benefit every year from the club’s activities, thank you for your generosity!

Happy New Rotary Year! It is an honor and privilege to have been elected to serve as your 2021-2022 President. I look forward to working with all of you as we embark on a new year and my promise to help rejuvenate us all as we connect in person again!
On behalf of the membership, club officers, board of directors and our foundation trustee’s, I congratulate our 2020-2021 President Ron Felgenhauer on an exceptional Rotary year. His energy and leadership, with the help of our Executive Director Sharon Lerch, allowed us all to stay connected and inspired when our lives were challenged with the Covid pandemic and the isolation it created in our community. Thank you, Ron, and we look forward to your continued leadership in our club for years to come.
As we begin to rebuild our “new normal,” I challenge all of you to embrace our Strategic Planning Goals to help better our club and hold true to our motto “Service Above Self.”
- Growing Membership
- Strategic Branding in our Community
- Expand High Quality Programing
- Excellent Standards in Club Management
- Increase our Cultural Diversity
As President, I am so proud to be a part of a club that exemplifies this year’s Rotary theme “Serve to Change Lives.” Our committees and club involvement have never been stronger. This past year our committees were committed to helping those in need, spanning across all 4 avenues of service; we developed a literacy program, Operation Comic Book, provided tutoring to students in need, helped the Haitian Vision Foundation provide food supplements to malnutrition toddlers, purchased desks for a school in Malawi, volunteered countless hours at the Greater Cleveland Food Bank, continued our every 56 day club blood donor day, assisted with the Cleveland State University Viking Veterans program, provided food and cold weather packets to the homeless and virtually were able to sustain our 43rd Annual Thesmacher High School Recognition Day/New Generations Conference, the 25th Annual Business Leadership Awards and our 53rdAnnual CSU Student Awards of Excellence. I look forward to the continued engagement of all Rotary members in making our club the premier service and networking organization in the city of Cleveland. Together we will be the example on how to change lives!
