Contributions to The Rotary Foundation

Each year, each Rotary Club establishes a goal for contributions from the club and its members to The Rotary Foundation. The contributions are used for Annual programs or for the Permanent Fund. The former funds projects, exchanges, and after three years, 50% of the contributions are returned to the District from which the funds flowed. The returned funds then are used by the District for local projects. The contributions to the Permanent Fund are held in trust and the earnings of the trust are used for Rotary activities. The Rotary year is July 1 to June 30. This means that contributions for inclusion in the totals for President T.R.'s term must be at RI not later than June 30. It is not too late to contribute via the on-line capabilities of Rotary.org website. If you need assistance, contact JH Rotarians John Gilmore, Rob Weed, or Stuart Palmer.
