From the Foundation’s web pages: “At the 1917 convention, outgoing Rotary president Arch Klumph proposed setting up an endowment “for the purpose of doing good in the world.” That one idea, and an initial contribution of $26.50, set in motion a powerful force that has transformed millions of lives around the globe.” Today that Charity Navigator, Four-Star foundation has done a great deal of good in the world through more than $4 Billion in life changing projects.
