Why is it still important to give to the Annual Programs Fund even after program budgets were reduced?
A. The need now is even greater than before in the 33,000 communities served by Rotary. While investment earnings helped the Foundation provide extra services in the past, our ability to meet these pressing needs is even more dependant on the continued generosity of Rotarians today. In difficult times, people look for leadership. Rotary has a strong tradition of providing such leadership and, as evidenced by the strong contributions to the Foundation this year, Rotarians are responding again.
