The Brainerd Rotary Foundation
The Brainerd Rotary Foundation supports Rotary ideals in local, national, and international projects prioritizing the enrichment of the lives of children in the Brainerd Lakes Area.

We are a 501(c)(3) charitable organization and rely on your private donations and the success of our annual fundraisers to fund charitable programs in our area and around the globe. 

Our annual fundraisers include:
٠Reverse Raffle 
٠Peach Sales (International Projects)
All proceeds benefit the charitable work of partner organizations.

We look to fund:
٠Projects with active member involvement and support.
٠Projects that are meaningfully impacted by our grants and that might not otherwise be able to continue without our support.
٠Projects that, in the spirit of Rotary International, address the critical “social needs” of our community.
