Polio Plus Society
Originally started in our district by PDG Alexander Falk, PDG Joan Arsenault and PDG Ingrid Brown, the PolioPLUS Society (PPS) now enters its fourth year in our district under the leadership of DG Pooja Singla and DRFC Anne Lewis, and we invite you all to join this year to help in our new PolioPlus Society Challenge that we have begun together with a dozen other districts in the Northeast. What is the PolioPlus Society?
In an effort to increase sustainable giving, the PolioPlus Society was formed to encourage Rotarians to commit to a minimum of $100 per year to the PolioPlus Fund until polio is eradicated from the face of the earth. Society members receive a special PolioPlus Society pin and a certificate.
Joining the PolioPlus Society is just one way Rotarians can show their support for Rotary’s largest initiative.
How to join the PolioPlus Society:
Set up your donation:
- Go to my.rotary.org/donate and click on “PolioPlus Fund”. Sign up for automatic giving with a credit or debit card. $10 or more per month, or $100 or more per year, will qualify you for the PolioPlus Society.
- You can also donate through your club or the district. Contact your club foundation chair or your district PolioPlus Chair.
What is the PolioPlus Society Challenge:
More than a dozen districts have joined together during the 2025-26 Rotary year to increase membership in the PolioPlus Society, and ultimately eradicate Polio, once and for all! You can help by setting up your annual or monthly recurring Polio donation today. The district with the greatest percentage increase of PPS members in June 2026 will win a fancy banner and bragging rights! Better yet we will all know we did our part in saving the lives of children all over the world!And remember, your donation is matched 2 to1 by the Gates Foundation to help us eradicate polio from the world.
Please help Rotarians reach every last child and achieve our vision of a polio free world!
