  10. The mission of The Rotary Foundation is to enable Rotarians to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through the improvement of health, the support of education, and the alleviation of poverty. To Do Good in the World.

  11. How did the Rotary Foundation begin? Obviously, the first step was the founding of Rotary itself in 1905. The first four Rotarians: (left to right) Gustavus Loehr, Silvester Schiele, Hiram Shorey, and Paul Harris.

  12. Paul Harris founded Rotary to promote the business interests of its members, and to promote fellowship among its members.

  13. At the request of new member Donald M. Carter, remembered as Rotary’s Father of Community Service, the Rotary Club of Chicago added civic service to its constitution in 1906. Rotary began serving the community in 1907, when the Rotary Club of Chicago donated a horse to a local preacher in Joliet, Illinois, and then led a campaign to build a public restroom at City Hall.

  14. In 1917, RI President Arch C. Klumph proposes an endowment fund "for the purpose of doing good in the world." The fund receives its first contribution, $26.50 from the Rotary Club of Kansas City, Missouri. In 1928, when the endowment fund had grown to more than $5,000, it was renamed The Rotary Foundation, and it became a distinct entity within Rotary International.

  15. In 1930,The Rotary Foundation made its first grant of $500.00 to the International Society for Crippled Children, founded by a Rotarian and which later became the Easter Seals Society. Since 1907, The Rotary Foundation has raised over $2.4 Billion, and has distributed over $2.2 Billion since 1947.

  16. The Permanent Fund Annual Programs Fund PolioPlus WHAT ARE THE MAIN COMPONENTS OF TRF? Educational Programs Humanitarian Grants Program

  17. PolioPlus, the most ambitious program in Rotary’s history, is the volunteer arm of the global partnership dedicated to eradicating polio. For more than 20 years, Rotary has led the private sector in the global effort to rid the world of this crippling disease. Today, PolioPlus and its role in the initiative is recognized worldwide as a model of public-private cooperation in pursuit of a humanitarian goal.

  18. Thousands of Rotarians around the world have volunteered during National Immunization Days to immunize children.  Rotary’s financial contributions to the global polio eradication effort will reach nearly $1.2 billion by the time the world is certified polio-free. 

  19. Polio Facts & Figures Number of cases in 2009: Afghanistan: 38 India: 732 Nigeria: 388 Pakistan: 89 Non-endemic countries: 350 Total worldwide: 1,597 As recently as 1985, there were 350,000 polio cases annually in over 125 countries As of 9 March 2010, there have been 39 cases of polio globally this year, compared to 110 at the same time last year. The starkest difference is in Nigeria, which has recorded one case in 2010, compared to 50 cases spread across 19 states at this time last year. Seven countries have recorded polio cases in 2010, compared with 13 countries at the same time last year.

  20. Contributions made by individuals, clubs, and districts are invested for three years. Investment earnings support administrative costs and may be used to benefit the Foundation’s programs. • After three years: • 50 percent of the original contribution is returned to the district as District Designated Funds. • > 50 percent of the original contribution is provided to the World Fund to support Foundation programs. Annual Programs Fund provides the necessary funding for operation of many Foundation programs

  21. District Designated Funds: Funds that can be used in a variety of ways, as determined by each individual District, including: Group Study Exchanges Matching Grants District Projects Ambassadorial Scholarships There are 529 Districts in the Rotary world. West Virginia has two: we are 7550, and northern WV is 7530

  22. The Group Study Exchange (GSE) program is a cultural and vocational exchange opportunity for businesspeople and professionals between the ages of 25 and 40 who are in the early stages of their careers. Teams are composed of 4 non-Rotarian team members, from a variety of business and professional backgrounds, and one Rotarian team leader. The GSE experiencespans approximately 4 weeks, during which the teams visit local businesses, government offices, and community organizations in the host district, tour historical and cultural sites, stay with Rotarian host families, and make presentations about their home country and professions.

  23. Ambassadorial Scholarships One of The Rotary Foundation's oldest programs, was founded in 1947. Since then, nearly 38,000 men and women from about 100 nations have studied abroad under its auspices. Today it is the world's largest privately funded international scholarships program. The program sponsors several types of scholarships for undergraduate and graduate students as well as for qualified professionals pursuing vocational studies. While abroad, scholars serve as goodwill ambassadors to the host country and give presentations about their homelands to Rotary clubs and other groups. Upon returning home, scholars share with Rotarians and others the experiences that led to a greater understanding of their host country.

  24. Matching Grants: The Heart of Rotary Through these grants, The Rotary Foundation matches contributions raised for international service projects by Rotary clubs and districts in two or more countries. The Foundation provides a one-to-one match for District Designated Funds contributions and a $0.50 match for every new $1 cash contribution. Grant awards range from $5,000 to $200,000. Matching Grants are intended to assist Rotary clubs and districts in carrying out humanitarian projects that will benefit a community in need. As with all grants, projects must involve active Rotarian participation and strict stewardship.

  36. Rotary Centers for International Studies in Peace and Conflict Resolution Rotary Peace Fellows are leaders promoting national and international cooperation, peace, and the successful resolution of conflict throughout their lives, in their careers, and through service activities. Fellows can earn either a master’s degree in international relations, public administration, sustainable development, peace studies, conflict resolution, or a related field, or a professional development certificate in peace and conflict resolution.

  37. Alumni work in a range of areas, including grassroots and local nongovernmental organizations, national governments, the military, police, and bilateral and international organizations such as the United Nations, World Bank, International Organization for Migration, and Organization of American States. Graduates of the program also enjoy the support of a growing worldwide network of fellow alumni committed to building peace. Through the Rotary Centers program, The Rotary Foundation and Rotarians can increase their effectiveness in promoting greater tolerance and cooperation among peoples, leading to world understanding and peace.

Jeanette Kroes “Peace requires the long-term engagement of us all — working at all levels and in all domains.”

  39. The Permanent Fund: The Rotary Foundation’s endowment fund This fund enables individuals to combine their gifts into a significant force to address the world’s greatest needs for generations to come. The initial target of $200 million for the Permanent Fund was met in 2005, six years ahead of schedule. The next target is $1 billion by 2025. In a Rotary year, about $8 million from the Permanent Fund is made available to support Foundation programs.

  40. Annual spending from the Fund is targeted to be 4.5% of the Fund’s average market value over the previous 12-qtr period. The amounts are to be allocated as follows: 3.75% for program awards 0.25% for program operation expenses 0.50% for fund development and general administrative costs 31 May 2009 $581 Million TRF Net Assets by Fund Other $7 $324 $91 $159

  41. HEALTH, HUNGER AND HUMANITY (3-H) GRANTS Focus on multiple community needs. Use integrative approach to problem-solving with large project scope Long-term project implementation, typically 2-4 years Serve a large population. Often target large geographic area (region of country, entire country, or multiple countries) Designed to be sustainable: project activities will continue after all grant funds have been spent Collaboration of Rotarians, cooperating organization, and benefiting community Build capacity: Teach them to fish . . .

  42. Health, Hunger and Humanity (3-H) Grants began in 1979 with the approval of a $760,000 grant to support polio immunization activities in the Philippines. Since then, The Rotary Foundation has awarded 305 3-H grants totaling $74 million to support projects in 77 countries and continues to award more grants every year. Communities now have access to clean water. Children have been saved from the ravages of disease. Entire countries have new literacy curricula and teaching methods, ensuring that boys and girls alike are learning to read. Women have access to microcredit, allowing them to generate income and provide for their families. Through Rotarian initiative and dedication, 3-H grants have brought lasting change to countless communities by teaching people to help themselves.
