Arch Klumph’s Vision — 1917
It seems eminently proper that we should accept endowments for the purpose of doing good in the world, in charitable, educational or other avenues of community progress … — Arch Klumph, 1917
Arch Klumph is called the father of the Foundation because he had the vision of a Rotary endowment fund and the dedication to bring this dream to life.
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 , he proposed this idea to a larger audience.
In his speech to the 1917 convention in Atlanta, he said: “It seems eminently proper that we should accept endowments for the purpose of doing good in the world, in charitable, educational or other avenues of community progress …”
Arch’s vision of an endowment would eventually become The Rotary Foundation, and his call for “doing good in the world” was to become the Foundation’s motto. But it would take some time for all of that to happen.

We should not live for ourselves alone, but for the joy in doing good for others
— Arch Klumph, 1929
Through the Foundation, Rotary members find satisfaction in serving others. The Foundation offers countless opportunities for all members, alumni, and their friends to do good in their communities and in the world — and to make a real, life-changing difference for people in need.
And because of the Foundation, people around the world recognize Rotary as an agent of positive change in the world.
There are many ways that you can improve lives today and build a better future though Rotary:
Work with an international partner club to develop a project in one of Rotary’s six areas of focus and apply for a global grant
Participate in or support your club or district’s grant projects
Contribute to the Foundation to ensure it can continue to do good in the world for many years to come

16. This is the centennial year of the Rotary Foundation
This is the centennial year of the Rotary Foundation! I would like to see every Rotarian become part of the Centennial Year by becoming a Benefactor, Bequest Society Member, or Major Donor.

19. There is a huge misconception that it is difficult becoming a Benefactor

20. The Road Blocks are not real!

21. Simply write a short note that you want to give a thousand dollars to the Rotary Foundation when you estate is settled. Sign and date the note and put it with your will. Let Rotary know you have done that. That’s it!

22. Sign and date it and put it with your will

23. Benefactor Ribbon
Let Rotary know you did that and they will make you a benefactor and give you a ribbon

24. Put the ribbon on your Rotary Pin

We have 2000 Rotarians in District 7600 who are NOT Benefactors!
If they all signed up this Centennial Year, that would give DRFCC (District Rotary Foundation Committee Chair) Chuck a big boost

29. Why Not? You’ll Never Miss it!!
Why not become a Benefactor
This is the most powerful sales pitch I have used in promoting the Endowment Fund
