Make your Foundation donation before June 15 so your contributions can be counted for the 2024-25 Rotary Year. We have had a very positive year, so let’s continue this upward trend. Remember, 50% of all the funds contributed come back to the District as District Designated Funds (DDF) in three years - making our global and community grants possible.Our Global and District Grants have been phenomenal this year because of the Rotary dollars you contributed three years ago.
Remember, your Foundation dollars can go toward polio also. We continue to benefit from the Gates Foundation 2 for 1 match - where the Gates Foundation adds $2 for every $1 we contribute toward polio. We also have a match from Rotarian Tommy Bagwell (District 6910) for every $100 contributed to Polio Plus this Rotary Year - up to $400,000. This is a huge benefit for us, and we should all try to take advantage of this opportunity. We are so close - just two countries left and we will have eradicated Polio! We can do this together. Remember: EVERY DOLLAR COUNTS!
