World’s Outstanding Foundation for 2016!
When the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP), the US-based professional association of fundraisers, rates The Rotary Foundation (TRF) No 1 in the World, it's worth taking notice.
The AFP was founded in 1960 and promotes stewardship, donor trust and effective and ethical fundraising. It boasts a membership of 30,000 in 233 branches throughout the world.
On November 15th, the AFP recognised The Rotary Foundation as The World’s Outstanding Foundation for 2016. The highly-regarded award places The Rotary Foundation in the illustrious company of previous winners, The Kellogg, Komen and MacArthur Foundations.
“While almost everyone is familiar with Rotary, not everyone may realize just how much of an impact Rotary and The Rotary Foundation have had on countless people and communities across the globe,” said Jason Lee, AFP president and CEO. “On behalf of the entire charitable sector and people around the world, all of us at AFP are honored to be able to recognize The Rotary Foundation as our 2016 Outstanding Foundation.”
