Rotary Foundation

The Rotary Foundation of RI is a not-for-profit corporation that receives contributions totaling more than US$70 million annually and distributes some $65 million each year in support of humanitarian and educational programs implemented by clubs and districts.

The Rotary Foundation is an international trust whose trustees are Rotarians. 

Funds are used by Rotary Clubs for projects that specifically come within the headings:- Hunger, Health and Humanity.

Our Foundation is 'Rotary in Action' as an international humanitarian and educational charity. 

Our purpose is to do good in the world. Our mission is to advance world understanding, goodwill and peace through the support of education, the improvement of health and the alleviation of poverty.

We are all aware of the Polio Plus programme and its objectives to rid  the world of Polio. Rotary International, thanks to Foundation, is one of the main sponsors of this initiative. Our contributions to Foundation are helping to finance this project. And it is going to happen!!. 

But alongside this many Clubs throughout the world are linking with others in countries where a humanitarian need is identified e.g. Need for clean water, education, teaching trades, providing tools, creating agricultural awareness.
