Foundation Giving Slow in First 6 Months
by Buck, David Members of our club gave $7,659 to the Rotary Foundation in the six month period ending December 31. The total included $3,556 to restricted giving and $4,103 to the annual programs fund.
Our club has set a goal for the year of $18,000 to the annual programs fund; that amounts to $90 per member and so far we're at only $21 per member. The per capita goal doesn't include gifts that are restricted. Most of the restricted gifts are earmarked for polio eradication. Cedar Rapids Rotary has 294 members and leads the district with $5,000 in restricted giving and $8,750 in total giving. |
