Dear Club and District Foundation Representatives,
The September edition of FOMO: Foundation Opportunities & Member Outreach is here, bringing with it the opportunity to celebrate a year of incredible achievements while preparing for the year ahead. This final issue of 2024–2025 highlights the generosity, dedication, and Optimism that have carried us Beyond Words: Where Every Child’s Voice Matters.
Inside the September issue:
· A closing message from the Foundation President with gratitude and recognition for donors and volunteers
· Celebration of record-breaking trends in Women’s Philanthropy Council memberships and unrestricted dollar-per-member giving
· August District Rankings, Achievements, and Shout Outs of the Optimist year
· Reminders for DFRs to connect with their regional liaisons and invite Board Members to present at District and Club meetings
As you share this newsletter within your Clubs and Districts, please remember to thank your donors for making these successes possible. Their generosity has fueled scholarships, grants, and programs that directly impact children. And as always, know that Board Members are ready to support your meetings by Zoom, and regional liaisons are eager to join your District gatherings.
Thank you for your dedication throughout this year. Your efforts have helped us finish strong, build lasting impact, and prepare for the opportunities ahead. Together, we’ve shown what it means to go Beyond Words, ensuring that every child’s voice truly matters.
Yours in Optimism,
Ben DeRemer
2024-2025 President
Optimist International Foundation
