How are our D7600 clubs doing on their Foundation giving goals?  Finishing strong?

Joy Kline circulated her February Joy Report in mid March which summarized the 7600 clubs Foundation (TRF) giving accomplishments through February 30th. The end of February represented about 66% of the Rotary year. Five clubs were near that goal at 66 to 69 % of their giving goals while  other clubs were at lower or higher levels.

The five clubs in the 66 to 69 % range were Hanover County, Henrico North, Huguenot Trail, Petersburg Breakfast, and Suffolk.  Assuming their 2015 -16 giving goals were reasonable these clubs are clubs which are plugging along at a reasonable pace to meet their TRF goals.

Emails and telephone calls are going out to these five clubs to obtain more information about how they set their goals initially, ongoing efforts to encourage giving or fundraising for The Rotary Foundation, and how they plan to meet their giving goals. These clubs may have tips on how to patiently, but deliberately, keep eyes on the ball and work towards the goals.  We hope to give updates on the progress of these five clubs in upcoming articles.

How is your club doing?  If you’re are a Club president, Club Foundation Chair, or Foundation Advocate you have access to your club Foundation Giving Reports on My Rotary and the upcoming Joy Reports will be posted here and sent to Foundation Advocates. A hint … the Club Fundraising Analysis, available when you log into My Rotary, is a great way to get a snap shot of the club’s current giving status and historic giving pattern.pi5preeiB

One more GMS opportunity on May 7 available in person or by webinar.  Focus on global grants.  Check out the dacdb.com calendar.

The header for this week’s blog shows President Shel of the Prince George Club (red jacket), DGE Diane, and project partners smiling broadly after DGE Diane had presented the $5000 District Grant check to help build accessible playground and recreation facilities at one of the county’s parks.

We all know that the District has funds to make such grant awards because of Rotarians who gave generously three years ago.  They ‘paid’ it forward so to speak.  The Annual Fund donations we make this Rotary year will become District Designated Funds (DDF) and will fund grants three years from now.  That is the continuum.   The district can make strong projections about DDF which will be available three years from now by encouraging and tracking current giving.

Club Foundation Chairs already have access to Foundation Giving Reports for their own Clubs.  Now Foundation Advocates have access to those reports for all of the clubs in their areas because of the access delegated by their counterpart Area Governors.

Another tool to track club giving is the monthly report provided by Joy Kline or, in my vernacular, the ‘Joy Report’.  This report gives a summary of club giving segmented by areas through the closing of the TRF books  the previous month.  This can be very convenient for the Foundation Advocate who can also share this report with his or her Club Foundation Chairs and Area Governors.  Take a look at the report to see how easy it can be to use.   It is provided here in both EXCEL and pdf format for your convenience.
