The Blane Foundation is raising the bar for 2025-2026 - their match this year will be up to $50,000! This opportunity will continue until the $50,000 is exhausted.
As a result of the Blane match, your individual donation of $500 or more to PolioPlus during this Rotary Year will be doubled. That total then will be matched two-for-one by the Gates Foundation!
It costs on average approximately $1.00 to vaccinate a child against polio in Afghanistan and Pakistan, including the cost of the drops and of logistics including transportation, vaccinator stipends, refrigeration, chalk to mark houses after each visit, and dye to paint children’s fingernails purple to indicate they've been reached. A child must receive multiple doses of the polio vaccine over time to be fully protected.
