The Hudson Rotary Foundation is the arm of our club that facilitates charitable and community works that have characterized this Rotary organization for years. The key to our success is, obviously, our people and the adherence to our goals and vision:

• To provide opportunities for young people, to work for the relief of the special needs of others, and to improve the quality of life in the community of Hudson.
• To support and contribute to the success of activities to which Hudson Rotarians commit.
• To fund scholarships for deserving high school students.
• To ensure that charitable beneficiaries selected and approved by the Hudson Rotary Club are deemed eligible beneficiaries under the Foundation's Charter, Bylaws, and IRS regulations.
• To educate and inform Hudson Rotarians about the activities of the Hudson Rotary Foundation on an ongoing basis.
• To adhere to the highest standards of integrity and accountability in the management of these funds.

The hallmark of the 77-year-old Hudson Rotary Club has been its scholarship program. Hudson Rotarians provide the manpower to carefully interview and select deserving students from the area to receive scholarships. The Hudson Rotary Foundation has and will continue to provide the financing necessary to grant these scholarships to many students from the area as they work through college and vocation programs.

The foundation has also supported organizations that provide a service to our community, such as, our local hospice program and EMS. It sponsored the Hudson Bicentennial Commission and provided funding for the preservation of the historic Case-Barlow Farm. The foundation has supported Hudson's local community television, our local Boy Scout troop, and the Hudson Middles School band. A major beneficiary in recent years has been the "Gift of Life" program, sponsored by Rotary International, wherein our club provides transportation and temporary housing for families of underprivileged children in dire need of heart surgery.

We are very grateful to have the support of our donors as we continue to build our permanent endowment fund.

Host family and Rotarians welcome
