Rotary Foundation Thought of the Week
Brought to you each week by PDG Bevin Wall, District Rotary Foundation
Chair; and reproduced courtesy of www.rotary.org
This week’s Rotary Foundation Thought is about what OUR Rotary
Foundation does with the money we contribute.
Last Rotary year, The Rotary Foundation spent over US$110 million on
program awards and expenses. $27.8 million was spent on educational
programs, including Ambassadorial Scholarships and Group Study
Exchange; $46.1 million was spent on humanitarian projects, such as
Matching Grants and District Simplified Grants; and $36.1 million was
spent on polio eradication efforts. Our annual contributions are what
make these programs possible. TRF carefully invests our gifts for
three years, with the investment earnings going to pay administrative
expenses, and the full amount of our contributions going to fund the
projects. This is OUR Rotary Foundation; Let’s be a part of it!
For more information on giving or program participation, contact PDG
Bevin Wall District 7730 Rotary Foundation Chair at Bevin@RLI33.org.
Lead the Way!
