February is the month we celebrate love! And we can’t think of a better way to do that than to “Share The Love” we have for the good work of Rotary by supporting our Rotary International Foundation which funds most of that good work.
The more we give, the more impact there is in our communities and around the world. This year, we have a challenging but achievable goal of raising $500,000 in our District for the Annual Fund – SHARE. We are currently at $244,000 so let’s PUSH now to make this happen! The RI Foundation is recognized as one of the most effective and well-managed charitable organizations in the world, with 15 consecutive four-star ratings from Charity Navigator and an A-plus rating from CharityWatch.
Since it was founded more than 100 years ago, the Foundation has spent more than $4 billion on life-changing, sustainable projects. With your help, the magic of the Foundation can continue. A gift to the Foundation’s Annual Fund – SHARE will result in almost half returning to our District to fund projects organized and led by our District 5960 clubs. Last year, over $227,000 was provided in the form of grants to support club projects in our district.
