Polio partner named Outstanding Foundation

Rotary Foundation has been recognized as the Outstanding Foundation of 2016 by the Association of Fundraising Professionals

Rotary’s PolioPlus was a major driver for selection of this award — Rotarians partner together on National Immunization Day in Moradabad, India.

The award honors organizations that show philanthropic commitment and leadership through financial support, innovation, encouragement of others, and involvement in public affairs.

“We are honored to receive this recognition from the AFP, which gives us even more reason to celebrate during our Foundation’s centennial year,” says Rotary Foundation Trustee Chair Kalyan Banerjee. “The continued strong support of Rotary members will help us keep our promise of a polio-free world for all children and enable the Foundation to carry out its mission of advancing world understanding, goodwill, and peace. We look forward to another 100 years of Rotary members taking action to make communities better around the world.”
