Rotarians,
November is Foundation month.
The Rotary Foundation provides the financial support for almost everything that Rotarians do from a philanthropic standpoint. Our contributions to the Polio Plus fund are matched two to one by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and provide Rotary’s contribution to polio eradication efforts around the world.
Our donations to the Annual Fund/Share provide the District monies we utilize as matching funds for District and Global grants. It supplies the dollars we use for our Group Study Exchange Teams. An effort that exposes us to other cultures and them to ours. And it provides the District scholarship(s) we offer to college students to support their studies abroad.
Our Rotary Foundation has achieved the highest scores available on Charity Navigator, an organization that evaluates Charitable organizations in the United States. Four stars and 100 points on a scale of 100 is the maximum rating available. There is no better place for your charitable dollars.
We have been honored this year in having our Rotary International President Mark Daniel Maloney assist us in our Foundation fund raising efforts by agreeing to be our keynote speaker at our 20th annual 2019 Rotary Foundation dinner at Arrowhead stadium. Our attendance, silent auction and auction ticket purchases help us provide the Rotary Foundation with the funds they need to help “Rotary connect the World”.
Yours in Rotary Service.
Marc Horner
District Governor
