In 1999, Rotary Charities donated $2.5 million to the Community Foundation to establish the Rotary Endowment. The Endowment connects the shared work of Rotary Charities and the Community Foundation of promoting philanthropy to enrich the quality of life in our region. Today, the Rotary Endowment provides an opportunity for individual Rotarians and local Rotary Clubs to have their philanthropic support matched by the Community Foundation.
We have an exciting opportunity to raise money for Polio Eradication, November 12 - 19. While we may miss World Polio Day on 10/24, we can still raise some awareness for Polio Eradication AND generate some funds for Polio Eradication at the same time. Everyone gets Paul Harris credit for all donations AND the club gets credit too.
