Boroondara Cares Foundation has evolved out of Foundation Boroondara and is now under the stewardship of the eight Rotary Clubs in the City of Boroondara. The Foundation is volunteer-led and clearly positioned as a fund-raising facility to add substantial resources for Rotary Club projects mounted in Boroondara.
Areas of focus are:
- homelessness,
- family violence,
- educational disadvantage,
- social isolation and
- drug abuse.
Representing our Rotary Club as a Director of the Foundation, is former Club President, John McCaskill,. It is quite important to the success of this new venture that our Club picks up one of the areas of focus to address as a Community Service project. The Foundation is relying on its member Rotary Clubs to manage the delivery of these services, so that more than 100 cents in every dollar donated is delivered in benefits to those in need in our city. Clubs should support each other with these projects, and we all need to rise to accept this challenge.
