We’ve been asked to participate in sponsoring Rtn. David Stevenson and wife Asa’s work with the Akha children in Thailand . As discussed in our meeting, the clubs visited by David are working to band together to participate at the suggested level of $30 per Rotarian. Monies donated will be used to leverage matching grants. Current projects include: Dormitories, Classrooms, Volunteer Accommodations, Kitchen, Toilet Blocks, Health & Hygiene, Solar Hot Water, Truck, and Akha Village Schools.

What is a Rotary Foundation benefactor?

A Rotary Foundation benefactor is a person who has notified the Rotary Foundation that he/she has made provisions in his/her final estate plans, or made an outright gift of $1000.00 or more, to the Rotary, Foundation Permanent Fund.

Benefactors receive a commemorative certificate, a letter of appreciation, and a royal blue and gold ribbon insignia to be attached to a Rotary or Paul Harris Fellow pin. A $1000. gift to the Foundation creates a legacy of helping people live better lives around the world. 3758 people became benefactors in Rotary year 2003-04. Won’t you join them?

What is the Rotary Foundation’s Permanent Fund Program?

If you will remember, the Rotary Foundation is funded in two different ways: the Annual Programs Fund and the permanent programs fund.

The Permanent Fund enables individuals to combine their gifts into a significant force to address the world’s greatest needs for generations to come. Donations to the Permanent Fund are made with outright gifts (cash, securities, real estate, tangible personal property or an endowed fund), life income agreements, or bequests by a will or trust. Contributions to this fund are invested for the future. Only earnings from their investment are used to support Foundation programs.

It’s very easy for you to leave a lasting legacy to the world through the Rotary Foundation’s Permanent Fund program just ask Keleigh, David, Nancey, Shelly, Candy or Keith how and we’ll show you.
