November is “Rotary Foundation month” in the Rotary calendar.
The Rotary Foundation supports projects all over the world that in the main are initiated by Rotary Clubs in distant countries.
QUESTION: How much Rotary Foundation financial support has been provided to projects involving Rotarians and Rotary Clubs based in RIBI?
ANSWER: During 2013-14, clubs/districts in the UK were awarded in excess of $7 million in district and global grants. These figures are the total funding (World Fund, DDF and sponsor contributions) and include all grants awarded (e.g. where clubs/districts are both the host and international sponsors.)
