The Trust is unique in that it supports local projects that will have a profound long term impact on our Community. The mission of the Trust is to Make our Community a Better Place to Live. The Trust board is comprised of three Yakima Rotary clubs. All of the board members work to assure that projects undertaken by the Trust will be selected by people who share the core values of Rotary and a passion for our Community.

The goal of the Trust is to select or create projects that will have a long term impact. Funds are used to directly support a qualifying project. Or, funds can be used as magnets to attract matching donations. For example, John Quick bequeathed $200,000 to Rotary. It was turned into a $1.2 million project via matching contributions. These funds purchased property in Southeast Yakima. The result: a Community eyesore has been cleaned up and made into an attractive area for recreation.

The Yakima Rotary Trust administered Mary Monroe Davis Scholarships program has awarded over 5.4 million dollars in scholarships to over 301 students. These scholarships are open to any Yakima County residents planning to attend accredited two or four year colleges or universities per the application guidelines.
