The Rotary Foundation - Doing Good in the World

The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International10th August 2010

Past District Governor Ian Knight reports on the Rotary Foundation Annual Giving Program

Congratulations and thank you to all as it is a great result for Annual Giving of US$351,521.90, being a per capita contribution of US$127.50. This includes the personal Rotary Foundation contributions through the Every Rotarian Every Year Centurion Program, The Paul Harris Society and Club contributions.

This will contribute greatly to "Doing Good in the World" through our Rotary Foundation projects - both educational and humanitarian.

Congratulations to the top three contributing clubs, Toorak, Brimbank Central and Chadstone/East Malvern.

The Polio Challenge contributions of US$108,776.31 (in restricted giving), and the Permanent Fund  contributions, together with Annual Giving contributions make a total of US$543,895.60 - this is District 9800's largest Rotary Foundation contribution for the past six years - a fantastic result.

Again, my sincere thanks to all.
