When writing a check to the Lafayette Rotary Club Foundation, you need to indicate in the memo line that the check is for "the endowment" or for "special projects". If there is no memo, the check will automatically go to the endowment fund. The Foundation's goal is to build the endowment to a level where substantial sums can be given to the club each year to spend on projects.
