Each year, our Rotary Foundation Chair has three key objectives during the annual TRF Campaign: 
 
  • Educate club members about The Rotary Foundation, The Paul Harris Society, Bequest Society, and Foundation Grants;
  • Encourage every Rotarian to give to TRF every year; and
  • Encourage members to promote the stories of the Rotary Foundation's worldwide successes!
The Rotary Foundation was formally established in 1928 and made its first grant in 1930 for $500. Today, The Rotary Foundation contributes more than $100 million to causes that improve the lives of millions of people in over 165 countries every year.  The key to our Rotary Foundation campaign for 2019-20 and frankly every year is Participate.  The dollar amount of your gift is not the most important thing, but that you participate at some level — Every Rotarian Every Year, whatever is right for you.  
 
Giving is easy!  You can donate online, or make a check payable to "The Rotary Foundation," and mail to Raj Kumar, 6529 Navaho Trail, Edina MN 55439
