Charitable ContributionsHow we Fund Charitable GivingOur club funds charitable contributions through a variety of fundraising activities, annual membership dues, and donations made by our individual members. Contributions or fundraising proceeds are entirely (100%) donated to worthy causes. This is unusual, as most charities have administrative costs of 5-20%. Unlike other charitable organizations, all of our administrative expenses are covered by annual membership dues, so every dollar donated goes entirely to charitable endeavors. We annually raise additional funds for the Rotary International Foundation and the Gundaker Foundation through the generous individual donations of our members. In the Rotary tradition, donations to these funds are given entirely to charity, all administrative expenses are covered by short term investments. Note that the club's direct membership donations are not included in figures noted below. How We Make Charitable ContributionsCharitable organizations who receive funding from the Rotary Club of Jenkintown submit an application to our Budget & Finance Committee. We only make awards to certified nonprofit organizations, which must reapply annually for continued funding. Each organization soliciting or being awarded funds is expected to make a twenty minute presentation to our club as part of the consideration process. Organizations funded for more than one year make a presentation on an annual basis thereafter. Our Budget & Finance Committee ensures the worthiness and suitability of each applicant, allocates funds to further the long-term goals of our club, reviews reports of how the funds were used, and monitors disbursements. Our Board of Directors reviews committee recommendations and makes all final decisions on which applicants are funded and in what amount. Funding for an individual organization may vary from year to year, as our budget or goals change to meet varying circumstances.
