The Rotary Foundation offers a number of opportunities to show its appreciation to Rotary Clubs for supporting its grants and programs. We recently received this letter: 
  • September 2024

    Dear Club President:

    On behalf of the Trustees of The Rotary Foundation, please accept this special 2023-24 banner recognition as an expression of our sincere appreciation for your members' generous support of the Annual Fund. Your club is distinguished from more than 36,000 Rotary clubs worldwide as being one or more of the following:

  • One of only 1,520 clubs to achieve Top Three Highest in Per Capita Annual Giving honors in their district (only clubs with a minimum US$50 Annual Fund per capita contribution were eligible).

  • One of only 3,800 clubs worldwide to attain status as an Every Rotarian, Every Year Club (clubs must have achieved a minimum Annual Fund contribution of US$100 per capita with every dues-paying member contributing US$25 or more to the Annual Fund during the Rotary year).

  • One of only 4,600 clubs worldwide to become a 100% Foundation Giving Club (clubs must have achieved an average of US$100 in per capita giving and 100 percent participation, with every dues-paying member contributing at least US$25 to any gift designation during the Rotary year).

Please convey our gratitude to every member of your club for their generous gifts to our Rotary Foundation. Your support enables Rotary members to tackle the world’s toughest challenges, both in your community and across the globe.

Congratulations and thank you for making The Rotary Foundation a continued priority in your club.

Sincerely,

Eric Schmelling
Chief Philanthropy Officer
The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International
