Rotary Endowment Fund
Gifts to Rotary's Endowment ensure that future Rotarians will have the resources they need to design and implement sustainable projects year after year.
Your gift at work
Rotary strives to increase the value of your gift to the Endowment by preserving and investing your initial contribution and spending only a portion of the earnings.
This strategy supports Rotary's causes today while generating funds that will further the work of future Rotarians committed to Doing Good in the World.
If you have provided for a gift to The Rotary Foundation in your estate plan, please let us know so the Foundation can express its appreciation for your generosity. When you share that you are one of a growing number of others providing future gifts to the Foundation you may just encourage someone else to follow in your footsteps!
Rotary is pleased to confer Benefactor status on those who commit any amount in their estate plan to the Foundation's Endowment Fund.Benefactors receive special insignia to wear with a Rotary pin and a personalized certificate.
Those who commit to a gift of US$10,000 or more will receive membership in the Bequest Society, which provides special updates, invitations and other materials including an exclusive pin.
