3. The Rotary Foundation

The Rotary Foundation Endowment. The folks at The Rotary Foundation Endowment remind us that if you include a commitment to The Rotary Foundation in your will or estate plan or by making a major gift, the results of your donation will keep providing for years to come. These are conversations that will take a few calls and emails, but the purpose of your gift, like health, can be targeted. For more information, you can contact Karena Bierman, Director of Gift Planning, at plannedgiving@rotary.org

4. WWNO/New Orleans Public Radio and Second Harvest. On Tuesday, May 5, New Orleans Public Radio is partnering with the Second Harvest Food Bank to help provide meals to our neighbors in need. Every $20 donated on May 5 provides about five meals for Second Harvest and funding for the radio station at wwno.org.
