This week’s Rotary Foundation Thought is about The Annual Programs Fund.
The Annual Programs Fund is the primary source of unrestricted support for the programs of the Rotary Foundation. It funds programs in more than 160 countries on seven continents. From digging clean water wells for villages in Africa to teaching basic literacy skill to children in Latin America, during any given moment in a day, thousands of Rotarians volunteer their time and expertise ensure that all contributions given to The Annual Programs Fund are spent wisely on quality Rotary projects.
Only if Every Rotarian makes a gift to the Annual Programs Fund Every Year, will we be able to continue to do the great work of our Rotary Foundation.
