Rotary Scholarships

Up to $50,000.00 per year is awarded to area students by the Newberg Rotary Noon Club through the NRF. These scholarships are awarded to outstanding students to help defray the cost of the first year of post high school education.

Funding

The NRF gives monetary assistance to youth-related projects, activities and services in the Newberg area. Money is raised primarily by the Newberg Rotary Noon Club, through its annual auction, contributions and established Endowment Fund.

The NRF is a nonprofit organization separate from the Newberg Rotary Club(s). As a IRC Sec. 501(C) 3 organization, all contributions to the Foundation are tax deductible, including fines contributed at club meetings.

The Foundation is chartered to accept cash gifts, real and personal property, securities and life insurances. The Endowment Fund has grown through such gifts and through bequests in compliance with the instruction of the donor within the limitations of the objectives of the NRF.

Rotary Student Exchange, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, FFA, Youth Athletics, Youth Choir, Habitat for Humanity, Youth Camps, Police Youth Activities, Park & Recreation Youth Scholarships, Grad Night, NHS Robotics, Children’s Library, SMART, Peace Village, Special Olympics, Resource Center, Community Wellness and school district needs programs and support for Resource Rooms are examples of funding by the NRF.
