StopPolioNow RI / Gates Challenge

T he biggest obstacles to eradicating polio are the underfunding of the global initiative and insufficient political commitment from the remaining polio-affected countries. Rotary International believes the primary source for additional funds can and should be governments of polio-free industrialized countries. Your contribution will help ensure that we keep doing our part to get the job done.

Contribute to Rotary's $100 Million Challenge

Rotary's US$100 Million Challenge, a three-year fundraising commitment, is the Rotary Foundation's response to the $100 million grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to help eradicate polio. Every dollar given to PolioPlus during the next three years will be counted toward the $100 million match.

Marion - East Cedar Rapids Rotary Initiative

District 5970 has the goal of each Rotarian in the District to contribute $30 to meet this challenge. The Marion - East CR Rotary Board voted to assess each of our members $30 in November 2008 to take care of our obligation early. The earlier the money comes in the fewer polio cases may need to be addressed.
