First goal : eradicate polio

• We have immunized over 2 billion children,• Rotary has spent over 1.2 billion US$, and

thousand of volunteering hours. • Endemic poliovirus is gone from all but three

countries in the world, • We are “this close” to ending polio.

Make history today:

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation will match 2 for 1 every dollar Rotary International commits up to $35 million to polio eradication through 2018.

Donate $5, it becomes $15. Donate $100, it becomes $300. 

Second goal : building ownership and pride in our Foundation

• The greater our Foundation’s resources, the greater our own ability as Rotarians to meet the needs of our communities

• The Endowment Fund and Annual Fund allow us to share our resources, work together, and bring our work to a higher level.

• Our goal for the Annual Fund in 2013-14 will be $120 million.

Third goal: Rotary’s grant model

• Full rollout of the grant model that we have been calling Future Vision.

• 3 types: District Grants, Global Grants and Packaged Grants [= 2 names]

• 87% of pilot districts said that the new model is excellent, very good, or good.

Fourth goal: innovate

Engage clubs in innovative partnerships and projects, to expand our reach and our impact.

So what can we all do as Rotary members around the world? 

• Rotary needs to “up its game” to a higher level of interaction and international development. 

• RI level representatives need to be involved at government levels and within senior levels of NGOs and the UN.

It is time for all of us to engage our Rotary service — and engage our Rotary

Foundation.

RI theme for the RY 2013-14 is Engage Rotary, Change Lives

Remember that:

The Rotary Foundation

is our Foundation.
