The Rotary Foundation was the vision of a single Rotarian, Arch Klumph. A member of the Rotary Club of Cleveland, Ohio, Klumph served as the RI President during the1913-14 Rotary Year. In 1917, Klumph declared that “we should accept endowments for the purpose of doing good in the world in charitable, educational, and other avenues of community service.” His vision and a contribution of $26.50 left over from the RI Convention helped to establish the charitable and humanitarian arm of our organization, The Rotary Foundation. Due to the hard work and generosity of Rotarians worldwide, The Rotary Foundation has improved lives for over 90 years. With ongoing financial support, The Rotary Foundation will continue to carry on Klumph’s dream well in our second century of service, as we go about the task of “BUILDING COMMUNITIES - BRIDGING CONTINENTS”.
Coral Gables Rotarians can do their part to support The Rotary Foundation by donating $100 a year to EREY. Every Rotarian Every Year giving just $2 a week to the Annual Programs Fund of The Rotary Foundation can make a difference for all we do. Imagine if EVERY ROTARIAN, all 1.2 million, gave $100 a year to The Rotary Foundation ... that's $120 million for our charitable and humanitarian projects EVERY YEAR.
