The Rotary Club of Gainesville established the Hart Joiner Endowment Fund for Children and Youth in 2002. Since then, the fund has contributed over $150,000 to 70 local youth-related causes in northeast Georgia. Grants from the fund have answered the wishes of a young cancer patient, provided partial scholarships to promising students, and funded local 501(c)3 nonprofits. The Hart Joiner fund is funded primarily by Gainesville Rotarians and the club's annual golf tournament. The fund is administered by the North Georgia Community Foundation (NGCF).
