Congratulation D9810 Clubs and Rotarians. A great result for ‘giving’ to The Rotary Foundation in 2022-23.
The Rotary Foundation relies on the contribution of funds from many sources. The main ones are from Clubs and individual Rotarians.
I'd like to congratulate and thank the Clubs and Rotarians of District 9810 for their continuing generous support of The Rotary Foundation during 2022-23.

Every Child a Future (Pacific Islands Immunisation) and also contributed to the End Polio Now program.On all counts, D9810 Clubs and Rotarians are making a significant impact locally, within our Pacific region and internationally as we continue to help communities and people in real need of our support.
On behalf of the D9810 Foundation Team, thank you for your generous support of The Rotary Foundation, often described as ‘the engine room’ of Rotary.
D9810 will again match the first 10 Club contributions to PolioPlus of US$1,000 with US$1,000 District Designated Funds (DDF). TRF will provide a 50% match to DDF. A Club donation of USD$1,000 matched by our District with US1,000 DDF attracts a further USD$500 (50%) from The Rotary Foundation.
So for the first 10 Clubs contributing to Polio, your initial contribution of USD$1,000 becomes USD $2,500, which receives the Gates Foundation 2:1 match of an additional USD$5,000, giving a total contribution of USD$7,500 to End Polio Now
