Taken from rotary.org and worth repeating from last week's bulletin since this is Foundation Month...
"The Rotary Foundation is the best steward for your money. Here’s why."
Investing your money
... “To ensure that the funds for the project are there when needed, all contributions to the Foundation’s Annual Fund are invested for three years.”
After three years, the investment earnings on your gift go toward the operating expenses of the Foundation.
The Investment Committee includes three Foundation trustees and six Rotarians who are professionals in the field, who make sure that your money is invested responsibly during this period.
When the three years is up, the investment earnings on your gift go toward the operating expenses of the Foundation.
“I don’t know of any other organization like ours that has a system like this,” Jensen says. “It’s brilliant.”
Your principal is split 50/50, with half going to your District Designated Fund and half going into the World Fund, a pool that the Trustees of The Rotary Foundation use to match grants where they are most needed.
