Rotary receives $100 Million Donation

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation awarded The Rotary Foundation a challenge grant of $100 million to support Rotary International's PolioPlus program. Rotary will attempt to match the grant dollar for dollar over the next three years. This is the largest, single grant ever given to a volunteer organization and represents a tremendous validation of the approach and success of PolioPlus, one of Rotary's flagship programs since 1985. Rotarians have donated time, effort and $633 million to eradicate polio from the world. The program's success has wiped the disease off the planet, except in four countries. Let's work to see that this challenge grant accomplishes our goal -- 100% eradication of polio worldwide.
