November is Rotary Foundation month.  You might know the mission of The Rotary Foundation is to enable Rotary members to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through the improvement of health, the support of education, and the alleviation of poverty.  You might know donating to the Annual Fund is easy using Rotary Direct.  
You might know half of our contributions to the Annual Fund come back to our district to support projects of our choosing.  If you are a history buff, maybe you can recall the first Foundation contribution in 1917 was for $26.50.

The Foundation awarded $86,677,399 in funding to 1,306 grants during fiscal year 2018. Here is a breakdown of causes the grants supported.
