Why does The Rotary Foundation have an Endowment Fund and why is it important for Rotarians to consider including the Fund in their estate plans? Kelowna Sunrise Rotary Foundation Committee Chair Tom Paterson, during the committee’s fourth virtual fireside on March 23, 2021, described how the Endowment Fund established in 1982 is now providing a continuous stream of income to meet the increasing demand for The Rotary Foundation programs in perpetuity.
A second component of Tom’s presentation included illustrated step by step procedures of how to access tools and information with respect to a Rotarian’s personal account and as a means to make donations to the Foundation. This feature on the Rotary International website is a vital avenue for viewing one’s detailed donation history.
A comprehensive overview of the purpose, operations and benefits of the Endowment Fund, along with how our club Rotarians can access and view “My Rotary” presented by Tom, is available for viewing through the video production included in this website story.
