Our giving records and this year’s goals
Past giving first, this year’s goals next, then what the funds support.
Yunling supports The Rotary Foundation and the separate Chung Hwa Rotary Educational Foundation.
Three things made clear: past giving, this year’s goals, and what these foundations do.
This year’s giving goals
2026–27
- Rotary Foundation givingUS dollars

After the handover, still side by side. Passing the baton is not one person stepping down, but one more person carrying the promise forward.
What service can grants support?
These are two projects Yunling participates in. Each has its own application, partner roles and progress.
Slow Angels
Steady learning support for children with developmental delays, and breathing room for caregivers.
Yunling leads, jointly applied with partner clubs
Yunling, Mailiao, Yunlin Tangdu and the Little Angels Development Association connect sensory integration classes, volunteers and families in Douliu. A class visit was recorded on 13 September and the parent observation form was completed on 15 September.
- 30 children (planned target)
- 35 service weeks (planned target)
- 105 group sessions (planned target)
LIGHT UP
Reading support that answers different learning needs.
Led by Mailiao, Yunling participates
LIGHT UP launched on 24 September 2026, led by Mailiao Rotary Club with Yunling as a cooperating club, connecting NTNU SmartReading and six coastal Yunlin schools.
Thank you for keeping goodwill going
Some lead the way, some walk every year, some begin with a very first gift. Different forms, the same willingness — all worth remembering.
Formal recognition
CP Shally and A.C. recognized as Paul Harris Fellows. Leading by example deserves respect.
Steady companions
Members with actual giving records in both the first and second years — walking together, year after year, is equally precious.
Annual shared thanks
Supporters who agreed to be named, anonymous givers, and every participant. A willingness to begin deserves welcome.
I was part of this journey.

The people behind the promise
RECOGNITION · Recognition guide
Recognition is a record of impact
Pick a path first, then explore slowly.
Funds, grants and recognition: what is different?
Three questions, three answers. Tell them apart before reading on.
Funds
Where the money goes: Annual Fund, PolioPlus, Endowment. The direction of support.
Grants
How resources become service: Global Grants, District Grants. The channel of action.
Recognition
How giving is remembered: PHF, PHS, Major Donor, AKS and more. The record of a promise.
Behind every pin is not a number, but a record of service kept going.
The individual recognition journey
It begins with sustained annual giving and grows into lifetime commitment. PHS runs as a parallel annual-commitment path, not a rung on the cumulative ladder.

Paul Harris FellowPaul Harris Fellow
Recognition for US$1,000 in cumulative eligible giving; it can also honor someone else.
- Threshold
- Cumulative US$1,000 (eligible giving)
- Model
- Cumulative recognition
- Eligible giving
- Annual Fund, PolioPlus or approved Foundation grant
- Recognition items
- PHF pin and certificate (per official process)
Donor and honoree may differ: receiving a PHF does not mean the person gave the full amount.
Learn more
A PHF answers “support added up over time”. A donor who reaches the threshold may accept the recognition in their own name or in another person’s name — for example, to thank a mentor. A PHF record shows the honor exists; it never invites guessing who paid what.
