District Designated Funds to bring back resources to our district and help more people in our communities and around the world!
What a better way to celebrate our Rotary Foundation's centennial by having all members in our eClub contribute $26.50, the initial amount that was once contributed to our Rotary Foundation in 1917! If you are a member or friend of the Rotary eClub of Houston, you are immediately a member of District 5890 and can help our district projects needing grants have funding.
Kindly choose the "Annual Fund-Share" category when donating online or by check to our Rotary Foundation between December 2016 and May 2017. If you donate this month it will be part of your charity tax deductible for 2016.
"Your gift to the Annual Fund helps Rotary clubs take action today to create positive change in communities at home and around the world. Your contributions help us strengthen peace efforts, provide clean water and sanitation, support education, grow local economies, save mothers and children, and fight disease.
Through the SHARE system, contributions to The Rotary Foundation are transformed into grants that fund local and international humanitarian projects, scholarships, and activities, such as vocational training teams. At the end of every Rotary year, contributions directed to the Annual Fund-SHARE from all Rotary clubs in the district are divided between the World Fund and the District Designated Fund, or DDF.
At the end of three years, your district can use the DDF to pay for Foundation, club, and district projects that your club and others in the district choose. Districts may use up to half of their DDF to fund district grants. The remaining DDF may be used for global grants or donated to PolioPlus, the Rotary Peace Centers, or another district."
