For Clubs and/or individuals who want to honour the memory of DG Vern with a donation to the Rotary Foundation, the "Vern Nielsen Fund" of the Rotary Club of Kelowna Foundation will collect donations until they reach a minimum of $25,000 USD.  At this time a Permanent Named Fund will be set up with the Rotary International Foundation in Vern’s name, and the proceeds of this fund will be used to fund grants and projects throughout Vern’s Rotary District 5060 in perpetuity.
 
 
 
This Donation through "Canada Helps" instantly issues a tax receipt.
 
Note that so far this fund is for Canadian dollar donations and Canadian tax receipts.  We are working on a solution using one of our foundations in Washington, so stay tuned... we will let you know as soon as we have a solution.
