Our Rotary Foundation
Inspire Generosity – Giving by Receiving

How can a 22-member Club LEAD the District in per capita Foundation giving? Do a great global grant project!

Grants are thought of as “getting” money. They are also a way to inspire generosity: Giving by Receiving.

Having a specific global grant project – where the District matches Foundation giving lets the donors:

  1. Know exactly where the funds are going
  2. Participate in the project, and
  3. Travel to the project site to feel the gratitude of prayers being answered.

Through its Spina Bifida project half a world away, the Rotary Club of North Atlanta saw three Rotarians become Major Donors, one of them at Level 2 ($25,000). Incredibly, they lead the District by far with $1,189 in per capita giving to The Rotary Foundation through March!

North Atlanta Rotarian Ralph Peeler said, “Our club's global grant to prevent spina bifida birth defects in Ethiopia has certainly had a dramatic effect on the level of Foundation giving in our club.”

Want to increase your club’s giving? Think big and inspire participation!
