Club Fundraising

Bringing Out the Best In KidsThe Optimist International Foundation makes every effort to extend its resources to the member Clubs of Optimist International, to assist them in obtaining locally based financial support. By lending its status as a 501(c)(3) charity to Clubs through programs like the Pass Through, Club Campaign Fund and Endowment Program, the Foundation has been instrumental in providing local program funding to Clubs. To learn how your Club can put these resources to work, please click on the Club Fundraising link on the left.

District Foundation Representative/Club Foundation Representative Resources

We’re proud to work closely with our volunteer fundraisers, our District Foundation Representatives and Club Foundation Representatives. These individuals work very hard on our behalf, and we certainly appreciate them.

Recycling Program

A 3-prong approach between Optimist International, Optimist International Foundation and Coastal Inkjet & Toner Recycling to launch a recycling program to collect used cartridges, at no cost. If each adult club only recycles 20 cartridges per month, over $500,000 a year would be raised for Optimist! For more information, click here.

To sign up, fax the Recycling Form to Coastal. Instructions are on the form.
