Polio Plus is not about raising money; it is about saving children – Walter Maddocks
In November, 2007 the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, chaired by Bill Gates of Microsoft announced a financial support of
US$ 100 million to Rotary’s global campaign to eradicate Polio.
The grant is one of the largest challenge grants ever given by the Gates Foundation and the largest grant received by Rotary in its 103 years history.
The grant was given to TRF with one important understanding that TRF will raise and equal amount in 3 years.
The Rotary Foundation requests Rotarians all over the world to meet the US$ 100 Million Polio Plus Challenge, dollar by dollar, over three years by 2010.
Google Foundation has also donated US$ 3.5 million.
A giant Rotary wheel with the words End Polio Now was beamed in London, on the side of the House of Commons to the left of Big Ben, on RIs 103rd birthday on February 23, 2008. It was done to herald the US$ 100 million Polio Plus Challenge to eradicate polio from the world.
