FOUNDATION
Club members actively support both the Rotary Foundation and the St. Louis Park Rotary Foundation
The St. Louis Park Rotary Foundation is the 501(c)(3) charitable arm of the Rotary Club of St. Louis Park. The Foundation provides financial support to nonprofit organizations that align with club priorities. Support is generally reserved for activities in the local community.
The Foundation also provides several college scholarships to graduates of St. Louis Park High School. Funds also support international projects sponsored by our club or other Rotary clubs. The Foundation's funds come from donations from Rotarians and non-Rotarians, as well as fundraising events.
The Rotary Foundation was founded more than 100 years ago to help Rotary members advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace by improving health, providing quality education, improving the environment, and alleviating poverty.

Fundraisers
Poinsettia Sales
Each holiday season, our club sells large, beautiful poinsettias to bring in the holiday cheer!
Proceeds support the club's foundation, which disburses funds to local priorities, as well as international development projects.
Poinsettias need to be ordered ahead of time, typically by mid-November.
They are distributed around December 1.
Free local delivery can be arranged.
Spring Flower & Plant Sale
Our annual spring plant sale is a wonderful opportunity to prepare for the upcoming growing season!
A selection of healthy and prolific plants are offered, including a variety of vegetables, herbs, and both annual and perennial flowers. These high-quality plants are sourced from Gregor Farm and Greenhouse, a local, family-owned business committed to bee-friendly practices.
Plant orders are accepted during February and March. Pickup is available at a designated local location, or delivery can be arranged. The anticipated pickup date is typically the Friday preceding Mother's Day.
All proceeds generated from the plant sale will directly benefit our club foundation, supporting impactful projects and grants at both local and global levels.
