CONFIDENCE IN THE FUTURE The Calgary Rotary Clubs Foundation is funded and owned only by Rotary clubs within Calgary. It exists as an investment vehicle for each club individually, with all decisions as to disposal of income resting solely with the individual clubs. Clubs make their own donations and have full control over their share of monies earned.

CONFIDENCE IN THE FUTURE At present the 13 Calgary clubs are members of the Foundation. Each club maintains its own balance within the Foundation, and realizes returns on that balance. CRCF paid out to participating clubs : $2,550,000 in 2011 $1,560,000 in2012 greatly enhancing their ability to fund club projects. Total value of the CRCF for the year ended February of 2012 was $35,378,000.

GROWING THE VALUE Even modest donations by members can have a major impact on returns to your club. Longer-range financial planning becomes possible, significantly enhancing the club’s ability to fund projects Funds can be used to fund regular commitments – Scholarships – Habitat for Humanity – Rotary Challenger Park

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE The Calgary Rotary Clubs Foundation guarantees a minimum return of 5% per annum on average balance of previous 3 Years. Calgary West currently at February 2012 has a balance of $381,618 CRCF returned to your Club for service projects – 2011$22,378 – 2012$15,592 – 2013$15,045
