Our own Johnston Rotary Club Member, Nancy Betz, presented the program about the Rotary Foundation.
The Rotary Foundation transforms your gifts into service projects that change lives both close to home and around the world.
During the past 100 years, the Foundation has spent $3 billion on life-changing, sustainable projects.
The 35,000 clubs carry out sustainable service projects that support our six causes. For example, Rotary has wiped out 99.9 percent of all polio cases. Donation also trains future peacemakers, supports clean water, and strengthens local economies.
One donation can have a huge impact. It can save a life. A child can be protected from polio with as little as 60 cents. Our partners make your donation go even further. For every $1 Rotary commits to polio eradication, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has committed $2.
