This year has been tough for many. And we know that, when the world seems so uncertain, many look to Rotarians for their dedication, generosity and impact.

As the sequence of seasonal festive rituals unfolds and 2024 comes to a close, we want to take a moment to sincerely THANK YOU for your incredible support this year!

Your giving doesn’t just change lives – it transforms communities. In the spirit of a shared responsibility and joy for all, TRF Trustee Chair Mark Maloney writes in the December issue of the Rotary Magazine:

“December is the time for reflection when we think not only about our loved ones, but about how we can make a difference in the world. (...) Rotary Foundation-funded projects touch lives across the globe, bringing hope to individuals you may never meet, but who will know you through your generosity. Your generosity will provide a legacy for future generations to find solutions in the areas we care about, while creating a ripple of positive change that extends far beyond our lifetimes. What better gift could there be?”

We know of the ongoing challenges facing our communities, here in the region, and across the world. In Australia, we have a strong commitment of community-mindedness, and our growing desire to make giving in all its forms more inclusive and impactful drives participation in generosity. We are creating a sense that philanthropy is for everyone, from grassroots giving to local community efforts, to large donations or major campaigns: every contribution – no matter how small – has value.

We wish you a joyful festive season and a healthy and happy 2025 amid families, friends and communities that foster connections and peaceful interactions. Enjoy and be safe!!

Warmly,

Anke, Mark, Avneet, Kym and Melissa
