Rotary Club of Uxbridge Charitable Foundation

What Rotary Club of Uxbridge Charitable Foundation does

The Rotary Club of Uxbridge Charitable Foundation is a private nonprofit charitable organization chartered in May 1996 in Uxbridge, Ontario, Canada, operating as a local chapter within the global Rotary International network of 1.2 million members across more than 200 countries. The organization is governed by an elected volunteer board led by a President (currently Cecilia Smith), President Elect, Executive Secretary, Secretary, Treasurer, and committee chairs across Club Service, Community Service, International Service, Youth Services, the Rotary Foundation, and Public Image, and conducts hybrid biweekly meetings at the Uxbridge Legion Branch 170. Its programs span local community service (Scrap Metal Day, Catch the Ace weekly lottery, Great Lakes Watershed Cleanup, Autofest), youth development and scholarships, support for individuals with special needs through partners such as WindReach Farm and Precious Minds, and international humanitarian projects delivered through Rotary International partnerships including Emmanuel International (Malawi Teen Clubs), Teacher Mentors Abroad (Dominican Republic), ShelterBox Canada, and Disaster Aid Canada.

The organization funds its activities through three principal streams: recurring membership dues, donations and bequests from individuals, families, estates, trusts, and corporations (with tax receipts issued for contributions of $20 or more and the ability to accept gifts of securities on a tax-advantaged basis), and proceeds from community fundraising events including Scrap Metal Day, the Catch the Ace weekly lottery, and 50/50 sales. As a registered charity, it does not sell services or products; all funds are directed to community programs with minimal administrative overhead. The 2022 EF2 tornado response, in which the Charitable Foundation was designated the central donation vehicle, raised close to $85,000 from the general public, local businesses, community partners, and Ontario Rotary Clubs, demonstrating both rapid fundraising capacity and reliance on event-driven surges.

The technology footprint is limited to ClubRunner, a third-party SaaS membership management platform that provides website hosting, member database, event management, email communications, and bulletin subscriptions. There is no proprietary technology, no product line beyond service programs, no app presence, and no disclosed AI/ML capabilities. The organization markets and engages through a ClubRunner website (uxbridgerotary.com), email newsletter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Twitter/X, and Facebook, supplemented by recurring in-person community events and guest speaker meetings.
