Rotary Direct - A Letter from the Rotary Foundation

As incoming Trustee Chairman of your Rotary Foundation, there are several goals we will focus on together to strengthen our Foundation.   Next year, we will End Polio Now; we will prepare for the global launch of the Future Vision Plan; we will foster peace through greater participation in Foundation programs; we will ensure sound stewardship of Foundation funds; and we will encourage every Rotarian to contribute to our Foundation.    

When it comes to supporting The Rotary Foundation, one of the most effective and efficient ways of doing so is through our recurring giving program, Rotary Direct. By enrolling in Rotary Direct you are providing a stable stream of support to Rotary Foundation’s programs at an amount, payment method and frequency convenient to you.  No more reminders, no more checks, and no more stamps. It is automatic, quick, safe and secure. With Rotary Direct you will be leading by example while having more time to spend on your other goals and activities, and less time chasing down contributions.
 
I have recently enrolled in Rotary Direct and invite you to do the same today. Whether you invest $10 a month or $250 a quarter, you will be affecting change in extraordinary ways. You will also be leading by example, inspiring every Rotarian in your club to join you in supporting our Foundation, every year. 
  
To make a recurring contribution through Rotary Direct, you can enroll online or by using The Rotary Foundation’s Contribution Form.  I thank you for your consideration, and I wish you great success as you lead your Rotary club.

Sincerely,
 
                                                                                                           
Wilfrid J. Wilkinson
Rotary Club of Trenton, Ontario, Canada
Chair, The Rotary Foundation Trustees, 2012-13
 

P.S. If you enroll in Rotary Direct today, and select your first scheduled contribution to occur on 1 July 2012, you will receive double Foundation recognition points for that initial Rotary Direct contribution. Learn more.
