Jo Lucey, Padma Chari, John Giovanola, and Stuart Rosenberg discussed Cupertino Rotary’s Permanent Fund and how it contributes to our Club’s annual charitable giving. The Permanent Fund is Cupertino Rotary’s endowment. It was established in 1991 to augment charitable giving funds raised by our traditional yearly fundraisers.
From its humble beginnings, the Permanent Fund has become a major source of funds for Cupertino Rotary’s charitable giving. Over time, as the endowment has grown, the amount the Permanent Fund generates for charitable giving has also grown. In 2012, the Permanent Fund generated $19,000 for our charitable giving. In 2019, it generated $60,000.
From now until March 18, the Rotary Club of Cupertino will be conducting the VISION 2020 Capital Campaign for Cupertino Rotary’s Permanent Fund.
The capital campaign goal is to grow the Permanent Fund by $400,000.
We’re on our way!! Donors have already pledged $330,000. The campaign is asking each individual Rotarian to help raise the remaining $70,000. Giving is personal. The campaign goal is 100% participation at whatever level is appropriate for each club member.
The club doesn’t raise funds for the Permanent Fund every year. In fact, there have been four capital campaigns in the last 28 years. It will be several years before another Permanent Fund capital campaign takes place.
