What Is The Rotary Foundation?

​

The Rotary Foundation is how generosity becomes action.

​

The Rotary Foundation is the charitable foundation of Rotary International. Through donations from Rotary members, clubs, and people who believe in our mission, the Foundation provides the resources to create meaningful and lasting change in communities around the world.

​

For more than a century, The Rotary Foundation has helped turn ideas into action—providing clean water, improving health, supporting education, strengthening local economies, promoting peace, responding to humanitarian needs, and helping lead the worldwide effort to eradicate polio.

​

Since its founding, the Foundation has invested billions of dollars in sustainable projects that improve lives. What makes it especially powerful is Rotary's global network of people. Rotary members live and work in the communities we serve, allowing us to identify real needs, build trusted partnerships, and help ensure that projects create lasting impact.

​

Here in Rotary District 6950, The Rotary Foundation allows our clubs to take the generosity of our members and communities and multiply its impact—supporting projects both here at home and around the world.

​

What Can One Donation Do?

​

Every gift, regardless of size, can become part of something much bigger.

​

A donation can help provide clean and safe water, support education and literacy, improve maternal and child health, strengthen communities, promote peace, protect our environment, and continue Rotary's historic effort to end polio.

​

When you give to The Rotary Foundation, you aren't simply making a donation. You're helping Rotary turn compassion into action—and action into lasting change.
