The Rotary Club of Park Cities' Communities Fund was originally sponsored in the 1960’s by the Rotary Club of Park Cities (“RCPC”) for the purpose of providing an enduring legal entity through which members and friends of the Rotary Club of Park Cities might make donations for the good of mankind and the Dallas community. The fund continues to this day to consider internal and external grant requests submitted on the RCPC Foundation online grant portal found on the club website.
The following grant requests were approved at our August 2022 meeting:
• $1,000 grant for scholarships for McShan Elementary
• $4,380 grant for Dentistry With a Heart
• $5,000 grant for Attitudes & Attire*
*Emergency grant request approved in an Executive Committee conference call due to Labor Day flood damage in Dallas County which affected Attitudes & Attire’s operations
The Executive Team denied the following grant request:
• Addison Midday grant request for Philippine’s water project
The fund balance as of October 31, 2022, was $1,636,092.50. The Communities Foundation of Texas manages the RCPC Foundation Fund. The amount available each year for grants is derived from an average over 16 quarters (4 years), then, 4.5% of that amount is the amount available for distribution the following year.
Our Sgt. at Arms Kathy Wall for 2022-2023, reported that the RCPC Foundation Fund donations thru 10-31.2022 totals $8,416.00 from 32 donors!
To the Foundation Fund: $8,416.00 from 32 donors
