Foundation Chair Donna Gilchrist spoke about the Rotary Foundation and demonstrated how members could visit www.rotary.org and log in to “My Rotary” with their e-mail and password. Once logged in, members can go to the Rotary Foundation link and click on the share option to ensure that local clubs can use the funds.
Members were encouraged to be Sustaining Members – which means regular donors that give on a monthly or yearly plan. For districts to access Foundation funds for local projects, the Clubs must be regularly providing to the Foundation.
