On November 8 at the Foundation Dinner during District Conference we had the honor of bestowing banners to clubs in recognition of significant contributions to the Rotary Foundation during the 2023-2024 Rotary year.  Four clubs were awarded 100% Foundation Giving Clubs and Every Rotarian Every Year Clubs.
100% Foundation Giving Clubs are those clubs that achieve an average of $100 in per capita giving and 100% participation with every dues paying member contributing at least $25 to the Annual Fund, PolioPlus, approved Global Grants, or the Endowment.  Every Rotarian Every Year Clubs are those clubs that achieve a minimum Annual Fund contribution of $100 per capita and every dues paying member must personally contribute at least $25 to the Annual Fund. The four clubs winning both awards were Dixon, Moline, Putnam County, and Rock Island.  In addition, Rockton-Roscoe was also presented with a banner as a 100% Foundation Giving Club.  

In addition, three clubs were honored by the Rotary Foundation for their per capita giving to the Annual Fund.  In 3rd place, with an average per capita giving of $365 was Ottawa Sunrise.  In 2nd place, with an average per capita giving of $805 was Moline.  In 1st place, with an average per capita giving of $878 was Pecatonica.

Congratulations to all the winners of these awards!
