Quick Facts
about the Foundation

 

Established October, 1984 by the Northshore Rotary Club

This unique, non-profit corporation combined the accounts established several years prior to 1984 in memory of Inglemoor student Jon Malinowski, Inglemoor graduate Jeanne Quackenbush and community leaders Dr. Walter Sundstrom and Nick Jewett. The principal of these four memorial accounts was being slowly depleted -- reduced by 1984 to $5,661 which comprised the initial Foundation bank account in the fall of that year.


Northshore Rotary Club�s role

The Northshore club�s board convinced its members to support the new Foundation and a $12,000 contribution was made. The club had been awarding scholarships to local high school graduates since 1958 under the leadership of Rotary charter members Dean Worthington, Carl Knoll, Bob Munro, Rusty Young and Julian Karp. Memorial scholarships are now issued annually in each of their names.


Sponsorship -- Rotary and Kiwanis

The Foundation expanded to include support from the Kiwanis Club of Northshore in 1986 and Woodinville Rotary Club in 1988. The service clubs help cover some administrative costs of the scholarship selection process as well as the anual recognition event. Each service club monitors a number of accounts in which the clubs have a special interest or have been asked to provide oversight on behalf of the Foundation.


Management and Investment Policy

The Foundation�s primary role is to manage assets and see that earnings are distributed for scholarships within the scope of its by-laws. The criteria and selection process is established by individuals and groups that established the accounts within the Foundation. The Board consists of 13 active members of the three service clubs plus three representatives from the Northshore communities at large. An investment committee serves as a liaison between the Board and the professional managers selected to manage the Foundation�s assets. Presently the policy calls for a moderate risk appoach to investments.

The Foundation role is limited to managing investments and seeing that scholarship proceeds are distributed to institutions where the recipients plan to enroll or are in school.  The Foundation relies solely on families, organizations and the three service clubs to establish criteria for scholarships and to be responsible for the selection process. (See mission).


Scholarship Accounts and Areas of Study

The Foundation manages 56 scholarship accounts. New accounts may be opened with a $35,000 contribution and by the sponsor providing scholarship selection criteria and purpose acceptable to the Foundation. Northshore Rotary�s account has grown from $12,000 to $82,677...Northshore Kiwanis from $5,000 to $32,147...Woodinville Rotary from $5,000 to $96,558. The largest single account is the Les & Vista Anderson memorial at $220,000. A $100,000 bequest was received in 2003 from the Gordon Livengood estate and, in 2004, a bequest in the amount of $136,500 was received from the estate of Arvid K. Pride of Woodinville.
 
Educational interests served include art, business, music, athletics, drama, auto technology, special education teaching, occupational studies, pharmacy, communications, performing arts, health sciences, public service, theater, nursing, teacher education and the fine arts.

 

Who qualifies to apply?
With the exception of scholarships offered at Cascadia Community College or University of Washington Bothell, applicants must be graduates of secondary schools in the Northshore School District or be residents of the Northshore School District who may be attending private schools located outside the district. Several of the scholarship programs have provisions for renewals from one to three academic years.


Contributions...and investments build asset base

The primary growth in assets comes from new accounts and additional contributions made annually by the service clubs. The largest single contribution was in 1994 when the Foundation accepted the estate bequest from Les and Vista Anderson -- $220,000. Contributions qualify as tax exempt donations. Over the 30 years, contributions to the Foundation have totaled more than $1,300,000.


Fiscal Year end June 30, 2014 Value and $$ to distribute

Foundation assets totaled $1,317,893. In September 2013 the Foundation voted to distribute 5.5 per cent of those assets for scholarships to be issued in the spring of 2014. The Foundation and service clubs combined to award $127,500 in scholarships for academic year 2014-15, the 30th year of operation. 

After funding all scholarships for the year 2004, the Foundation asset base first passed a milestone of one million dollars in December of 2004. The second million was passed with the scholarship grants of 2012 for academic 2012-13.


31st annual recognition event is scheduled for May 27, 2015

The three service clubs hosted 59 scholarship winners for year 2014 who received $127,500. 
The 30th annual recognition event was held over breakfast at  the Northshore Senior Center in Bothell. It is, indeed, the highlight of the Foundation�s year.
