We are in the final month of the Rotary Year -- final month of our matching challenge:
Please help us complete the ($10,000) challenge for matching funds to our (Long Term) Stillwater Rotary Fund at the St. Croix Valley Foundation. We are about half way to our goal! Everyone should participate and contribute. Donors of gifts of $500 or more will also receive Paul Harrisrecognition points. Annually, we are able to make grants using returns from the long term funds.
At Rotary, we have no tolerance for racism. Promoting respect, celebrating diversity, demanding ethical leadership, and working tirelessly to advance peace are central tenets of our work.
We have more work to do to create more just, open and welcoming communities for all people.
We know there are no easy fixes and that challenging conversations and work lie before all of us. Rotary’s strength has long been our ability and commitment to bringing people together. We will tap into that strength now as we stand with those who are working for peace and justice.
Rotary will do our part to listen, learn and take action to ensure that we continue to contribute to making positive change.
The Rotary Foundation transforms your gifts into service projects that change lives both close to home and around the world.
Since it was founded more than 100 years ago, the Foundation has spent more than $4 billion on life-changing, sustainable projects.
With your help, we can make lives better in your community and around the world.
Our mission
The mission of The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International is to enable Rotarians to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through the improvement of health, the support of education, and the alleviation of poverty.
What impact can one donation have?
For as little as 60 cents, a child can be protected from polio.
$50 can provide clean water to help fight waterborne illness.
$500 can launch an antibullying campaign and create a safe environment for children.
What do you get when you combine a teacher who is invested in their student, a young lady that does the work and has a life-changing experience, and a brief history lesson that culminates into a story of one of the 16 million Americans that fought in WW2 - you get a Friday Feature you won't want to miss! I viewed the presentation, and the story was well done and very moving. As North St. Paul/Maplewood/Oakdale Rotarian Randy Comfort shared about the presentation, "I have heard it two times and I can say that it was actually more powerful the second time I heard it." I am looking forward to hearing it a second time!
Please feel free to invite family and friends to join; you will all be glad you did!
