What East Chapel Hill Rotary Club Foundation does
Mission
To support the charitable efforts of the east chapel hill rotary club to improve the health and welfare of those in the chapel hill-carrboro community as well as the international community. Our service projects fall within the 7 areas of focus of rotary international, particularly in the areas of education, children's health and protecting the environment. We work with other rotary clubs around the world in several of these initiatives.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Teacher supply storein this annual project that takes place the week before school starts, we raise funds to purchase classroom supplies for teachers in the chapel hill-carrboro city school system. Working with our partner chapel hill-carrboro public school foundation, we create a pop-up "store" in which teachers are invited to choose $50 worth of supplies from the previously purchased materials. Additionally, each teacher was given a $25 gift card for items that were not available that day. In 2024, $54,449 worth of supplies were offered to all teachers and all social workers in the school system. Over 80 rotary club members, 18 public school foundation volunteers and 12 community volunteers provided services to make this possible. They purchased and transported the supplies and set up the "store" in one of the high school gyms. During the event, volunteers assisted the teachers in choosing and tallying their "purchases and provided small extra gifts. More than 1,000 teachers, representing 20 schools, were served. With this numbers of teachers directly benefiting, we estimate that at least 10 times that number of students indirectly benefited.

Fifty new bicycles and 50 helmets were given away at christmas house. The total cost of the bikes and helmets was $6,750. Ten rotary club members assisted with purchasing, transporting and distributing the bicycles and helmets. With 50 bikes and helmets provided, the number of children who benefited is probably 100 - 150.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $931k to $1.2M (+32%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.

EAST CHAPEL HILL ROTARY CLUB FOUNDATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 32% of grant income and the top three 74%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
95% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund EAST CHAPEL HILL ROTARY CLUB FOUNDATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 92% · 2021 76% · 2022 56% · 2023 78% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
75% of EAST CHAPEL HILL ROTARY CLUB FOUNDATION's funders are still giving 2 years after their first grant; 88% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
95% of EAST CHAPEL HILL ROTARY CLUB FOUNDATION's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $20k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside North Carolina, across 1 state.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $351k arriving through sponsors registered in 6 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
