Rotary Foundation

Bob Warne of the Midland Morning Club spoke to the Bay City Club on the subject of the Rotary Foundation and the goal of the RI to have every Rotarian become a sustaining member and contribute every year.

Warne is a member of the District's Foundation Committee. Some 15 members sit on this committee, including several past district governors, club presidents, and others representing clubs from around the district.

Every dollar contributed by Rotarians funds the humanitarian, educational and cultural programs and program operations. The Foundation created the "Every Rotarian, Every Year" iniatative, designed to increase annual giving to $100 per member each year.Since its inception in 1947, the foundation has distributed over 1.5 billion dollars.

Contributions from Rotarians to the Foundation go to one ofthree main funds:
  • Annual Programs Fund, which provides grants and awards through Foundation programs.
  • Premanent Fund, an endowment from which only a portion of the earnings are spend in support of Foundation programs, ensuringthe long term viability of the Foundation.
  • PolioPlus Fund, which supports Rotary's dream of a polio-free world.
Rotary's Paul Harris Fellow program recognizes members who have contributed $1,000 to the foundation. Each additional $1,000 is recognized as a "Plus 1", "Plus 2", etc. At "Paul Harris Plus 8", other recognition is made. The Bay City club includes 63 Paul Harris fellows, representing all categories through Plus 8.
