The Rotary Club of York maintains a "Charitable Endowment Fund" that provides grants of up to $2,500 to recognized non-profit organizations that serve disadvantaged youth in our community.  It is one of the ways that Rotarians give back to our community as partial repayment for our successes.

The Rotary Club distributed $22,463.00 to 15 organizations at their meeting Wednesday, May 21, 2008.  The group photo is of the representatives from each organization who attended the meeting to accept the grant.
