“The Mission of the Rotary Foundation is to support the efforts of Rotary International to
achieve world understanding and peace through international humanitarian
educational and cultural support programmes”
or
TO DO GOOD IN THE WORLD

The Rotary Foundation -TRF

The Rotary Foundation(TRF)
Is Rotary’s only Charity and is funded by donations from clubs, Rotarians and individuals, either
during their
lifetime or by bequests
How does TRF work?
Relies on the enthusiastic support of Rotarians
voluntarily giving of
their time and money
Who does TRF belong to?
Every Rotarian whether
he or she has madea
contribution or not
WHO SPENDS IT?
You do!
Each district currently receives back 50 % of the giving which
they made 3 years ago
(Called the DDF funds)
Why DDF currently 50% ?
The other 50% (The World Fund) is to pay for some other district programmes costs such
as:-
GSE team
The “other” half of a “Matched” Grant &
District Simplified grants - etc
DDF ?District Designated Fund
REMEMBERThere is no WE and there is no THEY
It is US who say WHAT we spend and HOW we spend it
So What does DDF DO?
• It allows us all to undertake bigger and well controlled projects to meet the NEEDS of those we care to SERVE
• It has allowed, and continues to allow us to be personally involved in building a Better World working with clubs Internationally
