Rotary Foundation
Worldwide, Rotary Foundation Matching Grants are saving and changing lives. Since the first Matching Grant was awarded in 1965, more than US$335 million has been distributed through more than 30,000 grants.
This is a tremendous achievement for Rotarians, who have made these grants possible through their generous donations to the Annual Programs Fund , and dedicated their time andtalent to help carry out projects that put Service Above Self.
By giving $100 a year -- less than $2 a week -- to the Annual Programs Fund through the Every Rotarian, Every Year (EREY) initiative, Rotarians become part of the Foundation's mission to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through the improvement of health, the support of education, and the alleviation of poverty.
The Gundaker Foundation
The Gundaker Foundation was established in 1964 to honor the life-long accomplishments of Guy Gundaker. A charter member and President of the Rotary Club of Philadelphia, he also served as President of Rotary International in the 1923--1924 Rotary year.
The Gundaker Foundation is a non-profit corporation of Rotary District 7450. It provides matching grants to clubs in the district to assist with service projects.
The Gundaker Foundation is administered by a Board of Directors made up of one representative from each Rotary Club within District 7450. In addition, three past District Governors serve as directors, and the current District Governor serves as Chairman of the Board. The officers of the Foundation (President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer) are elected by the Board of Directors.
The Gundaker Foundation meets the first Monday of the month at the Desmond Hotel in Malvern, beginning with dinner at 6:00 p.m., meeting at 6:45 p.m.. Guests are welcome to attend.
