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.
