Arch C Klumph was an optimist 11/24/2017 Arch C Klumph was an optimist 1916-17: RI President, started a fund “to do some good in the world” with $26.50 from Atlanta Convention 1928 re-named as The Rotary Foundation, with assets of over $5,000 Now over $1 billion 1947-2015 distributed more than $3 billion As president of the Rotary Club of Cleveland, Ohio, USA, in 1913, he advocated for the club to build a reserve that would ensure its means to do future good work. As president of Rotary in 1916-17, he proposed this idea to a larger audience. In 1917, the Rotary Club of Kansas City, Missouri, USA, made the first contribution, $26.50, to the endowment fund that Arch Klumph had suggested in his convention speech. But for almost a decade, the endowment went largely unknown and received very few contributions.
