YOUR ROTARY LEGACY
Goals: Building Your Legacy & Education
You’ve devoted your life to helping others through Rotary. We’re asking you to help tomorrows Rotarians to keep your legacy alive through a strong Foundation.
We must also educate today’s Rotarians to continue supporting the Foundation you helped to build.
We are building a $2.7 million bridge between the challenges of today and the hope of tomorrow.
Ways you can help!
- Donate a gift or pledge of $10,000 or more.
- Consider the ways you can build your gift.
- Invite a committee member to speak with you club.
Ways to build your gift?
- Cash in a single payment or spread over three annual payments
- Your gift could be securities or appreciated assets
- Bequest or Beneficiary designation.
- Life income annuity
- There are many more options to help you support The Rotary Foundation the way you wish.
In over thirty-five years as a Rotarian, I have watched Rotarians do amazing things. Things many thought impossible. Our Governors have set a high bar ($2.7 Million). I have no doubt we will exceed expectations, as only Rotarians can.
