Gifts to Rotary's Endowment ensure that future Rotarians will have the resources they need to design and implement sustainable projects year after year. Donations to the Endowment Fund can be made as an outright gift or planned gift, such as a bequest in your estate. As of the 2019-20 Rotary year, Rotary's Endowment net assets totalled US$500.5 million, and commitments totalled US$838.3 million, for a combined total of more than $1.3 billion.
Did you make a donation to PolioPlus when you received your COVID vaccination? It's not too late.

Global Grant Project in India – Just one of the benefits of Friendship Exchange
Come to a celebration! September 27
In 2019, when Barry and Nicole Rowland and I participated in a Friendship Exchange between the Cataraqui Kingston RC and the Madras Coromandel RC, we left funds to put towards a Global Grant, contributing as D7040 Passport members. As you know, the Global pandemic interfered with a lot of plans!
Please feel free to check out this YouTube video, either in real time or when you wake up, when two big, brand new busses will be donated to Srivalli Varadharaj Matriculation Hr. Sec. School, in Tamil Nadu. Nonoe of the children who will be using these busses would have been able to attend Secondary School without this Global Grant project. For the children and their families, this is world altering.
