About Us

The Rotary Club of Tampa is 150 members of all ages, professions, and cultural backgrounds, united as people of action, making a difference with hands on service, leadership, and philanthropic giving, both locally and internationally. Our members support one another in business and build friendships that last a lifetime. We work hard and have a lot of fun together.

The Rotary Club of Tampa was chartered by the Rotary Club of Jacksonville in 1914 as the second Rotary Club in Florida and the 117th Rotary club worldwide. Our organization is woven into the fabric of the city, led by civic and business leaders with a heart for service above self. We are proud of our long history of significant impact, and are excited for the new opportunities to come.

The Rotary Club of Tampa Foundation provides financial support for the Club’s local and international projects and charities.  Its carefully managed portfolio and mindful grant process ensure our ongoing impact with the many meaningful organizations with whom we partner each year.

Rotary International has over 1.2 million members and 35,000+ clubs worldwide. Causes include fighting disease, supporting education, growing local economies, and promoting peace. International projects planned and executed with the partnerships of clubs across the globe build multinational friendships and mean local members can see their impact firsthand.
