Named after the sixth president of Rotary, the Arch Klumph Society recognizes the Rotary Foundation’s most significant donors — those who have personally contributed $250,000 or more. The Society is an international network of philanthropists who are strong advocates for Rotary’s collective impact.
Congratulations to Bob Hermann and Dan Joraanstad who are the newest members of the Arch Klumph Society Foundation Circle. Bob is the 2024 – 2025 President of the Rotary Club of San Francisco #2 who has been an active Rotarian for many years along with his husband, Dan, also a member of the SF Club. They recently created a Charitable Remainder Trust with The Rotary Foundation (TRF) by selling their rental property. Their Life Income Agreement with TRF provides Dan and Bob with lifetime income and tax benefits.In October, Dan and Bob were inducted into the Arch Klumph Society by Rotary International President Stephanie Urchik and Rotary Foundation Chair Mark Maloney. Dan and Bob’s portrait is now in the Arch Klumph Society Gallery at Rotary International World Headquarters in Evanston, IL. Their biography and their inspirational story about their generous donation is included in the Leaders in Philanthropy Interactive Display. Bob and Dan’s significant gifts will provide support for Rotary’s Peace Fellows program, the Endowment Area of Focus, and the Endowment Fund Share.
Jaclyn Coffin has also become a member of the Arch Klumph Society Chair’s Circle. Jackie, a former Rotarian, was a polio survivor who passed away three years ago from complications of Post Polio Syndrome. Her gift will help to eradicate Polio and will provide significant District Designated Funds (DDF) annually to District 5150 through her gift to the Endowment Fund Share. Jackie is PDG Jayne Hulbert’s sister.
We are deeply appreciative for these individuals’ significant gifts to The Rotary Foundation.
Through the generosity of these supporters, the Foundation is able to continue its work toward a more caring and just world. The generosity of donors sustains Rotary’s work today, tomorrow, and far into the future.
