Service Projects

The Cincinnati Rotary Club is very active in both local and international service projects. In Greater Cincinnati our members develop, support, and fundraise for many worthwhile projects. Our members believe “Service Above Self” is not only the club motto but a true vocation.

Camp Allyn

Our club purchased and developed Camp Allyn in 1921, as a special retreat for children with disabilities. Today, services at Camp Allyn have expanded from basic summer camping to include respite programs, a preschool program, an adult habilitation program, summer day camp and summer overnight camp. The camp is used year round by several hundred children and adults with disabilities.  For more information, click here.


Hands on Service

We provide service to other charitable organizations during numerous Hands on Service projects each year. Beneficiaries of our efforts have included Ronald McDonald House, Children’s Home of Cincinnati, Crayons to Computers, and Matthew 21 Ministries to name a few. The above video was taken at a New Member Hands on Service Project at King Academy.



Condon School Holiday Party

Early each December, Rotarians gather to hold a Holiday Party at the Roselawn Condon School, a school for disabled and disadvantaged youth. Visitors also entertain the students including Rosie Red, Mr. Red, animals from The Cincinnati Zoo, our own magician and Santa Claus himself. The smiles on the students faces are priceless!

Rotary Foundation

The Rotary Foundation of Cincinnati was formed in 1961. Its mission is to provide the leadership, funding and resources necessary to support the diverse humanitarian efforts of the Rotary Club of Cincinnati. Its primary goal is to support children, particularly those whose future development is impaired by physical, cultural, emotional, financial and social obstacles. We also support the civic and humanitarian needs of local and world communities.

Rotary International

Rotary International has helped reduce polio cases by 99 percent worldwide since its first project to vaccinate children in the Philippines in 1979. We are very close to eradicating polio, and have helped immunize more than 2 billion children in 122 countries. Rotary’s goal is to completely eradicate polio in the next 3-4 years. For more information on this important cause, please visit www.endpolio.org.
