The Rotary Foundation transforms your gifts into service projects that change lives both close to home and around the world. Since it was founded more than 100 years ago, the Foundation has spent more than $4 billion on life-changing, sustainable projects. Rotary members contribute their skills, expertise, and resources to help solve some of the world’s toughest problems. From providing clean water to promoting peace worldwide, Rotary Foundation grants bring service project ideas to life.
As we approach the end of this Rotary year, don’t forget the great matching opportunity provided by our club. For every dollar you donate to the Foundation, up to $100, the club will match that donation in your name. If you sign up for Rotary Direct for the first time, we’ll add $25 more. This is a great way to become a Sustaining member of the Foundation ($100/year). Its also a good way to more quickly gain a Paul Harris Fellow ($1000 cumulative giving) or the next PHF Level.
The deadline for donations to receive the match for the 2018-2019 year is June 11, 2019 (our second meeting in June). This will give our Foundation Chair Steve Rand a chance to pull reports, complete the matching funds paperwork, and submit it all to Rotary International by June 30.
