President Anita & members of R.C. Golborne Lightshaw proudly displaying their Foundation Giving banners for
Rotary Year 2024-25.
The club with the smallest membership in D1285 achieved the No. 1 spot for per capita giving to the Foundation’s
Annual Fund during the year.
In addition the club was also recognised as a “100% Foundation Giving Club” and an “Every Rotarian Every Year
Club”.
On receipt of the banners, President Anita said “we are a small club and our scope of service is limited, but we
recognise the importance of giving to our own Foundation both personally and as a club to help further Rotary’s aims
throughout the world. Our donations to the Annual Fund give rise to our District Designated Fund which can be used
by clubs in D1285 to help support their own projects via awards from the District Grant. Our D.D.F. can also be used
to support larger club projects where an overseas club is involved through the Global Grant scheme”.
Commenting on the E.R.E.Y. banner, Club Secretary Derek said “the amount of $100 per Rotarian per year is a small
amount, equating to around £70 over the course of a Rotary year (less with Gift Aid); it would be nice to see more
clubs in D1285 achieving this goal in future years”.
Full details of the criteria for Foundation Banners (and for personal recognition) can be found in the “Rotary
Foundation Reference Guide” which can be downloaded from the R.I. website.

Or you could invite a member of the District Foundation Committee to speak at your own club.
