November is Foundation Month!
A message from Trustee Chair Ian H.S. Riseley

As we celebrate The Rotary Foundation, think of each Foundation project as a single tree that we plant. With each sapling of hope, health, and peace we plant through the Foundation, we make an investment in the future that will one day grow into something even greater.

Charity Navigator has given The Rotary Foundation its highest ranking for more than a decade. Why? Our overhead expense level is much lower than most similar organizations and, not only are we efficient stewards, but Rotary’s requirement of a community-needs assessment for global grants helps ensure the sustainability of our projects over the long term. And the Foundation is a charity you can trust because it is run by your fellow Rotarians.

Sadly, only about 38 percent of members actively support our own organization’s great charity.  We can and should do better.

Each club is challenged to make a giving plan for our Rotary Foundation this year.

Imagine our impact — Rotary’s great forest of hope and peace will flourish! Please give today. Below is the link for online giving.
