Fairhope Rotary Club Foundation
The Fairhope Rotary Club Foundation is the 501(c)(3) charitable arm of the Rotary Club of Fairhope; the club's official website hosts a 'Club Foundation' page that lists the foundation EIN (63-1187030), board trustees, mailing address, and guidance on grant requests. The page explains that grant requests must be initiated in writing through the Rotary Club and provides contact information.

Ideal Applicant
A local Fairhope/Alabama student or small local scholarship program that can be nominated or endorsed by the Rotary Club and fits a scholarship purpose.
Good Fit
- • Located in Fairhope or serving the Fairhope community in Alabama
- • Request is explicitly for a scholarship or individual award
- • Has an existing relationship or endorsement from Rotary Club of Fairhope members
- • Asks for modest, one-time awards in the $1K–$3K range
Geography
Observed giving is narrowly local: every documented grant in 2022–2024 was made within Fairhope/Alabama, so the footprint is city/state-limited.
Recipient Variety
Each year the foundation made five distinct grants, producing a modest number of independent recipients for a small foundation, but all grants are scholarships to individuals and several recipients recur, so programmatic variety is limited.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of turnover is limited (only one new recipient in 2024) and the foundation explicitly requires requests be initiated through the Rotary Club and notes preselected applicants, which together suggest unfamiliar applicants have low plausibility of entry despite a public contact route.
