This
week’s
Rotary Foundation
Thought is
about why there continues to
be growing support among
Rotarians for The Annual
Programs Fund.
I'm sure
that you share my pride in
the wonderful programs of
our Foundation, such as
PolioPlus, Group Study
Exchange and Matching
Grants. Did you know that:
- 1. Your gift is
wisely invested, so the
full amount is directed
to support the programs
of your Rotary
Foundation. Only a
portion of the
investment earnings pays
for administration.
- 2. After a
three-year investment
cycle, half of your
contribution comes back
to our district to be
spent on programs
identified by Rotarians
in our community, and a
portion can be spent
locally.
- 3. For those who
live in countries with
favorable charitable tax
laws, sending in your
gift before December
30th will ensure you
receive a tax receipt
for the current year and
qualify you for year-end
tax benefits.
Most
important, our continuing
support of The Rotary
Foundation and our
continuing involvement in
the Foundation’s programs is
an investment in our
children’s future by making
the world a safer and
healthier place.
