Each Rotary year since 2007, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has contributed funds for the fight against polio, usually in the form of a match to Rotary donations. This past year, the Gates Foundation offered to match our donations $2 to $1, up to $50 million. 
 
Thanks to you, The Rotary Foundation reached our all-important goal of $50 million in Rotary donations, allowing us to take full advantage of the Gates match for a total of $150 million for the fight against Polio!
 
Congratulations to each and every one of you for digging deep to make this happen, especially when you consider that Rotary members also donated $3 million in DDF and $12 million in cash to Ukraine Disaster Relief during this past year. The final Polio donation totals should be available this month. With your continued help, we will eradicate this terrible disease.
