The Prosper Rotary started its flag program in 2009. Last year, we place over 1,100 flags throughout the neighborhoods of Prosper.
You will have a 3’ x 5’ American Flag mounted on a metal pole placed (and retrieved) in front of your house on five patriotic holidays during the year: Memorial Day, Flag Day, Independence Day, Labor Day and Veterans Day.
The current cost is $60 for the year with no proration for those who sign-up after the start of the annual season that begins with Memorial Day.
The $60 dollars is a donation to the Prosper Rotary Foundation which is a 501(c)3 charitable organization registered with the IRS to receive tax deductible donations.
A reusable plastic sleeve is installed approximately one foot inside the curb line generally in front of the front door and below the grass line. Its position is marked discreetly on the curb so that it may be easily found for the next holiday.
Very modest direct overhead cost of the flag program are retained to cover the cost of the flags, poles sleeves, third-party credit card and software fees and distribution fees. In total, these are less than 10% of the generated revenue.
The remaining 90% plus is used to support nonprofit organizations and projects right here in the Prosper community. Examples include:
