Rotary Foundation: The Future is Here!

Dear Mr. Nelson,

Thank you for supporting The Rotary Foundation.  I hope you feel the same sense of pride and accomplishment that I do when you review the enclosed fact card.  Because of donors like you, our Foundation has a far reach and we are poised to offer our help in a host of different ways.  You enable us to extend aid to those who need us the most.  On behalf of these children, women, and men, please accept my sincere thanks.

I am pleased to report that as of 1 July 2013, our future vision plan will be fully operational.  What started as an ambition for tomorrow's service efforts has grown into an award-winning grant model that will enhance the scope, impact, and sustainability of our Foundation's projects.

A strength I see in the plan is that it clearly outlines our areas of focus: peace and conflict resolution, disease prevention and treatment, water and sanitation, maternal and child health, basic education and literacy, and economic and community development.  Each area represents a significant need that Rotarians are addressing every day in communities around the world.  The future is here!

So much good begins with the dedication of Foundation Benefactors like you.  Your commitment to The Rotary Foundation's Endowment Fund will support vital programs for generations to come.  Thank you, again, for your generosity.

Sincerely,

Wilfrid J. Wilkinson, Chairman, The Rotary Foundation Trustees, RI
