Foundation Giving Report

Thanks to all the clubs that are raising funds and awareness for our End Polio Now campaign. We need everyone on board to beat polio and the Gates Challenge makes our contributions even more important.

While raising funds for polio eradication is important, so is supporting the other Rotary Foundation endeavors. Matching grants, scholarships, group study exchange and more all depend on donations to the Annual Programs Fund (APF). At midpoint in the Rotary year we have given $153,000 to The Foundation's APF. We have committed to $355,230. Based on previous years, we can hit this ambitious target, but we need to be working toward it now.

Please encourage your club and its members to support The Foundation. Its work is so important to everything Rotary represents, and we need to be sure that it continues.
