Our Rotary Foundation at Work
Multiple Partners Sustain & Enhance a Global Grant Project

Three District 6900 Rotary Clubs and one from District 6450 have made generous and significant financial commitments to the Rotary Club of North Atlanta’s (RCNA) ongoing global grant project in Ethiopia to prevent serious birth defects such as spina bifida, hydrocephalus, and anencephaly with vitamin B9. District 6900 partners include the Rotary Clubs of North Fulton, Atlanta Midtown, and North Cobb. The District 6450 Club of Naperville, Illinois contributed their own DDF (District Designated Funds) to the project. These funds will be used to support the fourth and fifth years of the project in Ethiopia.

Prompted by Mike Mudd, District 6900 Global Grants Chair, solicitations were made to various clubs to raise $5000 in donations to the Rotary Foundation Annual Fund – Share . This is the money that is recycled back to the district in three years (47.5%).

The partner’s donations exceeded the target! Thanks to this extraordinary generosity, $61,517 will be provided for the fourth year of this life-altering project.

The symbol and trademark of our organization – the Rotary Wheel – connotes connectivity and unity of purpose in motion. Rotary clubs from District 6900 and beyond generously came together to make it happen. Teamwork makes the dream work!
