As Rotarian of the Day, Rotary Foundation Chair John Baranowski reminded members to submit their pledges to support the Rotary Foundation. John read the letter from Rotary International President Ian Riseley that opens the November issue of The Rotarian. The letter highlighted the importance of the Foundation in enabling Rotarians to accomplish projects worldwide. The Rotary Foundation is one of the most efficient uses of a charitable dollar. Charity Navigator awarded the Rotary Foundation its highest rating as reflected by low administrative costs (91% of donations directly support projects) and high transparency and accountability. In 2016 the Association of Fund Raising Professionals recognized the Rotary Foundation with its Outstanding Foundation Award.
