The need for services supported by the Rotary Foundation continues to
grow. It is important that Rotarian's provide additional financial support
to the Annual Fund so the District can maintain its level of support for
Matching Grants, Group Study Exchange and Educational projects in addition
to wrapping up efforts to eliminate Polio in the world. Additionally, we now
are using Rotary Foundation funding for use within our own District for
Community Assistance Projects via District Simplified Grants. These are
matching grants that encourage and assist our clubs with projects right here
at home. Up to 20% of what is raised for the Annual Fund can be used for
this purpose. Every Rotarian Every Year (EREY) is the slogan we use to
emphasize Sustaining Memberships. Sustaining Members contribute $100 at a
minimum every year to the Annual Fund to provide reliable source of Funding
for Rotary's continuing programs including the relatively new "Rotary
Centers for International Studies in Peace and Conflict Resolution”. While
the Annual Fund is the spending vehicle for current activities, keep in mind
the Permanent Fund. The Permanent Fund is an endowment fund designed to
provide additional support, from its earnings, to the Annual Fund. The
Permanent Fund is designed to be the vehicle for receiving bequests and
large donations from Rotarians, family and friends.
You are encouraged to participate in and promote The Rotary Foundation
within your club so we can continue with the Foundation’s basic tenet of –
"DOING GOOD IN THE WORLD."
