About The Peekskill Rotary Foundation
The Peekskill Rotary Club Foundation, Inc. was chartered to help meet charitable and humanitarian needs in Peekskill, Cortlandt and internationally. This year the foundation presents grants, scholarships and awards to nearly 100 organizations and individuals. See list of grants and scholarships awarded in 2022-2023 below.
The foundation’s most significant contribution to our community during the last few years was the planting of 100 cherry blossom trees along the walkway at the Peekskill waterfront. The trees celebrate the Peekskill Rotary Club’s 100th anniversary in 2019 and will offer lasting beauty for the residents and businesses of Peekskill and Cortlandt for decades to come.
The Peekskill Rotary Club Foundation, Inc. is the non-profit, philanthropic arm of the Rotary Club of Peekskill and operates as a separate 501(c)(3) tax-exempt entity.
Contributions to the foundation may be made through PayPal or mailed to the Peekskill Rotary Foundation at P.O. Box 344, Peekskill, NY.
