The ShareForever 7780 Million Dollar Challenge: Building Our Rotary Legacy

             

Pledges we make today will make a difference around the world, and right here in District 7780. Our own Rotary clubs, from Damariscotta to Fryeburg, from Exeter to Portland, each of the 39 clubs in our District will feel the impact and put those hard earned dollars to good work - forever!

 

What is the ShareForever 7780 Million Dollar Challenge?

A generous District 7780 anonymous donor has made a
legacy gift to support the
ShareForever 7780 Million Dollar Challenge up to one million dollars! 
 
This generous challenge gift can double the impact of YOUR legacy gift and multiply the impact you will have on Rotary’s work - forever.
 
  • Challenge includes all new D7780 endowment gifts this year to any TRF endowment designation.
  • Your bequest, benefactor or other legacy gift can be earmarked for Endowment Fund SHARE (EF-SHARE), the yearly endowment earnings will perpetually add DDF funds for our district grants, global grants and district-7780 directed programs. 
 
Our first goal is to raise over $1M in new endowment expectancies and gifts by June 2024
The legacy challenge between now and June 30, 2024 could DOUBLE D7780 gifts to $2M.

“We believe in The Rotary Foundation and the GOOD WORK that our donations do, not just around the world, but that monies come back to do that GOOD WORK in our communities too!”
 
          ~ Sarah and Terry MacGillivray
             Bath Sunrise Rotary Club
 
 
“Why we donate to The Rotary Foundation, it is pretty simple. We get to direct where the money goes. Whether it is district grants that can support local trails and playgrounds, or global grants serving projects around the world, we know our money is helping others.”
 
               ~Carolyn and Peter Johnson
                 Yarmouth Rotary Club
 
 
“Last year we were able to donate money from our IRA accounts to the Rotary Endowment fund for SHARE. Rotary put that money to work….
and now, every year, SHARE gets over a thousand dollars in earnings. Half goes to the World Fund immediately, and half comes back to our district."
 
              ~ Dave and Linda Underhill
                 Portsmouth Rotary Club
 
 
“We know and trust that the legacy that we have created through our donations to the Peace Centers Endowment fund of TRF, will benefit future generations”
 
                    ~ Bob and Kathy Gravino
                       Bath Sunrise Rotary Club
