Financial health

We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Governance

This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

Impact evidence

Programs described in its return (3)
  1. $7,040 spent. A portion 110 in the FY of each member of the Monteagle-Sewanee Rotary Clubs annual dues is donated to The Rotary Foundation SHARE Program. The SHARE program exists to channel Rotarys Annual Fund donations back into districts so Rotarians can decide how to use a portion of the money they contributed. In short SHARE is the mechanism that turns Rotarian giving into usable grant dollars half for the global work of Rotary and half returned to each district for local priorities.
  2. $3,028 spent. The Monteagle-Sewanee Rotary Club participates annually in Rotary District 6780 Purple Pinkie program. This is fund raising event uses the purple dyed fingertip-the mark given to vaccinated children-to help Rotarians raise awareness and funds for polio eradication. Through several matching programs each dollar raised is matched with an additional at least seven dollars all of which goes to The Rotary Foundations program to eradicate polio globally.
  3. $529 spent. Beginning for a quarter in the FY 2.50 of each members quarterly dues are donated to The Rotary Foundations PolioPlus Fund. Each dollar donated is matched with an additional two dollars by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation tripling the impact of each contribution. The purpose of the project is to fund a global program to eradicate polio. Some members contribute more to this worthy program.
