NOVEMBER IS ROTARY FOUNDATION MONTH

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.

The Foundation is a not-for-profit corporation supported solely by volun-

tary contributions from Rotarians and friends of the Foundation who share its vi-

sion of a better world.

THE FOUR WAY TEST Of the things we think, say or do:

1. Is it the TRUTH

2. Is it FAIR to all concerned?

3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER

FRIENDSHIPS?

4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to ALL CONCERNED?

I n 1917, RI President Arch C. Klumph proposed that

an endowment be set up “for the purpose of doing good in

the world.” In 1928, when the endowment fund had grown

to more than US$5,000, it was renamed The Rotary Foun-

dation, and it became a distinct entity within Rotary Inter-

national.

Five Trustees, including Klumph, were appointed to ―hold, invest,

manage, and administer all of its property . . . as a single trust, for the fur-

therance of the purposes of RI.‖

Two years later, the Foundation made its first grant of $500 to the

International Society for Crippled Children. The organization, created by

Rotarian Edgar F. ―Daddy‖ Allen, later grew into the Easter Seals.

The Great Depression and World War II both impeded the Foun-

dation’s growth, but the need for lasting world peace generated great post-war interest in its development. After Rotary’s founder, Paul P. Harris,

died in 1947, contributions began pouring into Rotary International, and

the Paul Harris Memorial Fund was created to build the Foundation.

That year, the first Foundation program – the forerunner of Rotary Foundation Ambassadorial Scholar-ships was established. In 1965-66, three new programs were launched: Group Study Exchange , Awards for

Technical Training, and Grants for Activities in Keeping with the Objective of The Rotary Foundation, which

was later called Matching Grants .

The Health, Hunger and Humanity (3-H) Grants program was launched in 1978, and Rotary Volunteers

was created as a part of that program in 1980. PolioPlus was announced in 1984-85, and the next year brought Rotary Grants for University Teachers . The first peace forums were held in 1987-88, leading to the Foundation's

peace and conflict studies programs .

Throughout this time, support of the Foundation grew tremendously. Since the first donation of $26.50

in 1917, it has received contributions totaling more than $1 billion. More than $70 million was donated in 2003-04 alone. To date, more than one million individuals have been recognized as Paul Harris Fellows – people who

have given $1,000 to the Annual Programs Fund or have had that amount contributed in their name.

Such strong support, along with Rotarian involvement worldwide, ensures a secure future for The Ro-

tary Foundation as it continues its vital work for international understanding and world peace
