7. How do you answer these statements? I’d rather give my money to local projects that help local people. Rotary already costs me a lot of money; how can I also give $100 a year to TRF? TRF got that big grant from Bill Gates. My small contribution isn’t going to make a difference. Why should I be a sustaining member when the officers in my club are not?

8. How do you answer these statements? I’d rather give my money to local projects that help local people. –Foundation dollars do support local projects through District Simplified Grants. We benefit from our participation with the GSE teams. We learn from our inbound scholars. Our local students who receive the outbound scholarship benefit significantly.

9. How do you answer these statements? Rotary already costs me a lot of money; how can I also give $100 a year to TRF? –$100 a year is less than $2.00 a week. A cup of coffee, a dessert, a snack at the movie. The cost of Rotary is primarily meals. Eliminate the meal cost from the amount “spent” on Rotary and how much does it really cost?

10. How do you answer these statements? TRF got that big grant from Bill Gates. My small contribution isn’t going to make a difference. –The generous Gates grants and the subsequent Google grant are restricted for Polio eradication. None of those funds are being used for the programs supported by the annual programs fund such as grants and education programs.

11. How do you answer these statements? Why should I be a sustaining member when the officers in my club are not? –Every person makes their own decision about giving. If you believe in the work of The Rotary Foundation, your support should be your own decision. Any member of the club can be a role model for others.
