Rotary Foundation Centennial

Posted by John Lynch

This year, OUR Rotary Foundation turns 100, a milestone few organisations reach. As we reflect on the success of our first century, we also prepare for new challenges.

Our Foundation relies solely on donors like us. Its future - and the future of all who depends on its work - in in our hands. Rotarians are able to use grants to create community-driven, sustainable projects that improve access to education for students around the world. See how gifts to The Rotary Foundation open the door to education.

Our support is more vital than ever. This year, we are asking for all Rotarians to consider making a special gift to honour our Foundation's centennial.

In 1917, the Rotary Club of Kansas City, made the first contribution, $26.50, to the Rotary Foundation.

To commemorate this auspicious start, we aim to raise an EXTRA amount equivalent to $26.40 per member for a total of $ 1,113.

Please consider an additional donation this year.
