Rotarians around the world give generously to their Foundation to
accomplish a wide range of educational, cultural, and humanitarian
programs. These gifts ensure that dreams of a better life become reality
for thousands of deserving people throughout the world.
To ensure the Foundation's strong future, the Trustees have authorized
a new initiative to build the Permanent Fund. This endowed fund is invested
in perpetuity. A portion of the funds is allocated to benefit Foundation
programs. The earnings will provide an extra stream of income to
meet the increasingly expensive delivery of international humanitarian,
cultural, and educational activities and to ensure the Foundation's
ability to meet urgent human needs into the future.
The initial target of US$200 million for the Permanent Fund was surpassed six years ahead of schedule. Our next target is US$1 billion by 2025.
We invite you to invest in tomorrow by designating a gift from
your current assets or a portion of your estate to the Permanent
Fund. By participating, you will join fellow Rotarians whose combined
efforts continue to improve and enrich the lives of thousands of
needy people around the globe.
