Did you know that each Rotary year, every Dunwoody Rotarian donates $100 to The Rotary Foundation? We have done that intentionally since 2005 - recognized each year since then as a 100% Sustaining Club. We are also one of the few Million Dollar clubs in the world - a giving level we reached in 2015 under the leadership of then President Lorri Christopher and Foundation Chair Bill Mulkey. Ever wonder what happens to the money we donate? Here's the note I just received in my email - as many of you probably did - expressing thanks for our contribution!
Thank you for your generous support of The Rotary Foundation. Your commitment
helps Rotary members around the world create lasting, meaningful change - one
project, one vaccine, one community at a time. Because of donors like you, we’ve funded 458 district grants, 1,210 global
grants, and 69 disaster response grants this year. These grants empower
Rotary members to meet urgent needs, strengthen communities, and build a more
resilient future.
And the impact doesn’t stop there. In 2024 alone, more than 270 million
children in 36 countries received over 1 billion doses of oral polio vaccine,
thanks to the efforts of Rotary, our global partners, and supporters like
you. Your generosity brings us closer every day to a world without polio.
Every grant awarded and every child protected are a reflection of your belief
in a better world. Thank you or remaining dedicated to Doing
Good in the World.
Over the next few months, we'll take a closer look at the close ties between the Rotary Club of Dunwoody and The Rotary Foundation! In the meantime, check with our Foundation Chair, Ed Holliday, if you'd like more information about how you can make a difference through the Rotary Foundation.
