Blindness Prevention - Donor Advised Fund
CLICK HERE To Contribute to the Donor Advised Fund
Member of the Rotarian Action Group for
Blindness Prevention work with clubs and districts throughout the year
to develop and carry out a wide variety of Blindness Prevention and
eyecare projects around the world. To support these projects, the
Blindness Prevention Donor Advised Fund was established by Past RI
President, Frank J. Devlyn, to provide grants to projects that qualify
for funding by The Rotary Foundation through Matching Grants and Global
Grants.
The Blindness Prevention Donor Advised Fund is a
sub-entity of The Rotary Foundation and as such has tax exempt
501(c)(3) status, thereby insuring that all dontations to the BP-DAF are
tax deductible (for U.S. citizens).
Each year the BP-DAF
provides grants to 25-35 blindness prevention projects. To
continue to provide this support, donations from Rotarians and others
are very important. The BP-DAF Administrator is PDG Walt Schloer,
Vice Chairman of the Blindness Prevention RAG. When BP-DAF
donations are made online (a minimum donation of $100 is required
for Paul Harris Fellow recognition) through the RAG for Blindness
Prevention, the funds are transferred to the BP-DAF to be used for
Blindness Prevention projects.
After making your donation, you
will receive a letter for tax purposes from the BP-DAF and the BP-DAF
Administrator will notify The Rotary Foundation of your eligibility to
receive the Paul Harris Fellow Recognition points.
If you have
any questions at all about the BP-DAF or your contribution, please
contact PDG Walt Schloer at
wschloer@gmail.com, or via phone at 541-388-0769 or
541-280-3465(USA) and he will
be glad to assist you. |
