Announcing The Rotary Foundation District 6000 Endowment for the Future #E21626

The Rotary Foundation (TRF) District 6000 endowment for the Future has been created. Endowment funds protect and invest the money donated and uses the income from those investments to fund Rotary’s good works. A special component of endowment funds is that the donated funds continue to create income in perpetuity, benefiting Rotary and District 6000 forever. 

How does this work? A donation into our District 6000 Endow SHARE account #E21626 is pooled with the rest of the donations made into that account. While that money is invested and protected from spending, income from that account is divided between TRF World Fund and District Designated Funds (DDF). The World Fund provides general support within Rotary wherever the need is greatest. DDF is used here in District 6000 to support local community grant projects as well as Global Grants. Supporting our District 6000 Endowment for the Future #E21626 is the best way to provide continued support for local projects. If you want to contribute be sure to include the number E21626. You can use this FORM or make an online contribution HERE (select NAMED FUND and enter E21626).

TRF Mission
The mission of The Rotary Foundation (TRF) is to help Rotary members to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace by improving health, providing quality education, improving the environment, and alleviating poverty. The Rotary Foundation is OUR FOUNDATION. It was established in 1917 by Rotary International's 6th president, Arch C. Klumph during the Convention in Atlanta, Georgia. The first donation was $26.50 from the Rotary Club of Kansas City, MO.

What impact can one donation have?

It can save a life. A child can be protected from polio with as little as 60 cents. Our partners make your donation go even further. For every $1 Rotary commits to polio eradication, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has committed $2.

How does The Rotary Foundation use donations?

Our 35,000 clubs carry out sustainable service projects that support our six causes. With donations like yours, we’ve wiped out 99.9 percent of all polio cases. Your donation also trains future peacemakers, supports clean water, and strengthens local economies.

How much of the donation goes towards the programs?

91% of donations are directly spent on programs. The Rotary Foundation has achieved a 4 star rating from Charity Navigator, the highest rating possible.
