2008-09 Foundation goals
Enhancing Rotary’s public image and asking clubs and districts to partner
more with The Rotary Foundation are just two of the new 2008-09
Foundation goals.
The 2008-09 Foundation goals are:
1. Keep our promise to eradicate polio .
2. Embrace the two pillars of support for The Rotary
Foundation: the Annual Programs Fund through Every
Rotarian, Every Year and the Permanent Fund .
3. Participate in Your Foundation/Our Foundation, a "lend a
hand" program for sharing funds from club and district
foundations to permanently establish the Rotary World Peace
Fellows program and support global polio eradication.
4. Enhance Rotary's public image .
5. Support the Future Vision Plan of The Rotary Foundation.
The first two items are similar to the 2007-08 goals of eradicating polio and ensuring
contributions to the Foundation. The last three, however, are new.
If Rotarians work together toward the third goal of supporting Your Foundation/Our
Foundation, Jonathan B. Majiyagbe (above) believes the Foundation can both
permanently endow the Rotary World Peace Fellowships program and help eradicate
polio.
He urged Rotarians to use their affinity credit cards , which have raised US$5.5 million
for the Foundation since the program’s inception in 2000.
With so much to accomplish, now is the ideal time to work on the fourth goal of
enhancing Rotary's public image, a task that must be carried out at the grassroots level.
"Better public acknowledgement will help us attract new members to our Rotary clubs,
and it will help us attract new donors to our Foundation," he said.
The last goal of supporting the Future Vision Plan will help keep the Foundation viable,
make it more efficient, and "meet the needs of the ages," said Majiyagbe.
