Rotary Foundation Of Washington Dc

TO ENGAGE IN WORKS OF CHARITY OF EVERY DESCRIPTION AND TO COLLECT, HOLD AND ADMINISTER FUNDS TO CARRY ON CHARITABLE ACTIVITIES.

IN OCTOBER, THE BOARD HOSTED A RETREAT WHICH INCLUDED DEFINING THE FOUNDATIONS VISION AND MISSION. THOUGH THIS WAS SHARED WITH CLUB MEMBERS THROUGH AN EMAIL ANNOUNCEMENT IN LATE JANUARY, IM SHARING AGAIN NOW. AN ORGANIZATIONS VISION STATEMENT LOOKS FORWARD AND CREATES A MENTAL IMAGE OF THE IDEAL STATE THAT THE ORGANIZATION WISHES TO ACHIEVE. IT IS INSPIRATIONAL AND ASPIRATIONAL AND SHOULD CHALLENGE.AN ORGANIZATIONS MISSION STATEMENT LISTS THE CORE PRINCIPLES THAT GUIDE AND DIRECT THE ORGANIZATION AND ITS CULTURE. IN A VALUES-LED ORGANIZATION, THE VALUES CREATE A MORAL COMPASS FOR THE ORGANIZATION AND ITS EMPLOYEES. IT GUIDES DECISION-MAKING AND ESTABLISHES A STANDARD AGAINST WHICH ACTIONS CAN BE ASSESSED. EARLY LAST CLUB YEAR, A WORKING GROUP WAS FORMED TO EXAMINE INVESTMENT POLICY. ULTIMATELY, THE INVESTMENT GUIDELINES CONFIRM A POLICY OF LONGEVITY AND SUSTAINABILITY OF RESOURCES TO CONTINUE FUNDING FOR GENERATIONS TO COME. WEVE CHARGED OUR INVESTMENT ADVISORS, HERITAGE, TO SUPPORT THIS KEY GOAL. THOUGH OUR FUNDS HAVE BEEN IMPACTED BY RECENT MARKET VOLATILITY, THE NUMBERS INDICATE A TRACK RECORD WE CAN FEEL GOOD ABOUT. WE WILL BE ABLE TO FUND GOOD DEEDS FOR DECADES TO COME. THROUGH GRANT MAKING TO NUMEROUS NONPROFITS DELIVERY DIRECT SERVICES TO RESIDENTS OF THE DC METROPOLITAN AREA, ALONG WITH SIGNATURE PROJECTS IMPLEMENTED DIRECTLY BY OUR CLUB LOCALLY AND GLOBALLY, AS WELL AS OUR SUPPORT OF YOUTH SERVICES SUCH AS INTERACT, ROTARACT, RYLA, AND THE BOYS & GIRLS CLUB WE FUNDED PROGRAMS OF NEARLY $370,000 IN FY2022.
