The funds were invested for 3 years: 2008-2009, 2009-2010,

District uses for Matching Grants,
CPGs, GSE Team, Scholarships
$219,500 was set aside as World Fund:

It’s the earnings off of the 3-year cycle of investments that pays for the operation of the Rotary Foundation.
So 100% of your contribution to the APF
goes to programs!
So, how can you becomeinvolved with the Rotary Foundation?
How can your club become involved with the Rotary Foundation?
Clubs– what can you do to help encourage giving?
First, make it easy for your Members to give –
One simple idea: Bill Sustainer contributions quarterly with your dues!
Next, honor those who do give!
Recognize sustainers with Badge stickers
List them in your directory and in the database
Hold Formal presentations of new Paul Harris Fellows
Club Presidents – what’s your role?• Lead by example – be a sustainer
and a Paul Harris Fellow, and wear your pin!
• Appoint a club Foundation chair, and make sure you list them on the club Database and with RI.
• Make sure your club sends contributions in regularly throughout the Rotary year.
Then, Involve your Club in Foundation Programs!
• Seek out International Matching Grant Projects
• Apply for a Community Project Grant
• Participate in the PolioPlus fundraising effort, and educate your community about Polio Eradication
• Sponsor GSE Team Leaders or Members
• Nominate an Ambassadorial Scholar
Regional Training in 2012-2013
5 “regional” training events throughout the District held
between August and November, 2013
Mid-week evenings, 6:00 – 8:30 PM
Attendance at a District Foundation Training event is required for the Gold Club Achievement Award!
Keep Track of Your Club’s Progress
Quarterly during the first part of the year, and then monthly during the last quarter, you’ll receive Foundation contribution reports from me.
LOOK AT THEM! Contributions should be sent in quarterly to the Foundation – if your club hasn’t sent any, FIND OUT WHY!
Familiarity with The Rotary Foundation. .
first will lead to Involvement with the Rotary Foundation . .
and then will lead to Generosity in contributing to the Rotary Foundation!
