Support Our Rotary Foundation
Foundation Contributions Help Local Mothers and Children

Often it's contributions by our District 6900 clubs that make the difference to children and mothers around the world. In this case, however, Argentine Club President Cesar Ferrari (behind his daughter) stands behind the $10,000 RI Foundation funded Matching Grant that his club sponsored for a project in District 6900. Inspired by the projects District 6900 had sponsored in their homeland, this grant provided desperately needed equipment and supplies for single moms and children in North Fulton County. Increased Foundation donations of only $2500 were quadrupled. Friendships deepened, those in need were helped, and  we  saw “service” put above “self."
