Building a Legacy of Service

The District 6600 Legacy Campaign strengthens Rotary’s future by building a sustainable endowment to support youth programs, scholarships, leadership development, peace initiatives, and community grants. When we give, we ensure that Rotary’s impact continues for generations.

What Is the Legacy Campaign?

The Legacy Campaign is a district-wide effort to build long-term financial strength through a dedicated endowment. This fund will permanently support the programs that define who we are: youth leadership and exchange, scholarships, community service, peacebuilding, and regional initiatives that help people across Northwest Ohio.

Endowment gifts—large or small—grow over time, providing annual resources that allow Rotary to do more good, more consistently, and more sustainably.

Campaign Goal

District 6600 is working to raise $1,000,000 in new endowment commitments by June 30, 2026. Every gift helps build a strong future for our district.

We gratefully accept:

• Outright gifts (cash or appreciated assets)

• Bequests

• Life insurance beneficiary designations

• Estate or trust commitments

Why Now?

Our communities rely on Rotary more than ever.

• The cost of service projects continues to rise.

• Youth programs and leadership opportunities are expanding.

• Clubs are seeking long-term stability to strengthen local and global impact.

By investing in the endowment today, we ensure that service above self remains strong tomorrow.
