Our Rotary Foundation
Celebrating North Fulton's Foundation Giving

This incredible under-50 member club that got its start in 2000 continues to excel, inspiring generosity like few others. Foundation giving is a vital, self-less, and often difficult task that makes our grants possible. And North Fulton Rotarians have donated more than $900,000 to the Annual Fund in just 25 years as a club!

Foundation Chair Doug Higgins, President Erik Bykat, and District Grants Chair Mike Mudd recently announced two new members of the Bequest Society: Club President Elect Dan Jenkins (his $50,000 Bequest leads the District) and Past President and Assistant Governor Joy Manbeck. This is after North Fulton Past President Richard Matherly committed the District’s largest Bequest last year at $50,000.

North Fulton has achieved:

  •  Top ten per capita Club in District 6900 the last 20 years
  • $908,000 in all time giving to the Annual Fund
  • $478 per capita giving in 2024-25
  • Multiple Global Grant service projects

What is the Bequest Society? It allows deferred giving – committing to leave $10,000 or more in your estate plans. Above $25,000 allows a named, permanent fund - for example, “the Dan Jenkins Better World Fund.” Each year the earnings go to the donor’s designated area. It’s easy.
