Rotary Foundation

The Rotary Foundation is the largest private Foundation in the world and is the “engine room” which drives Rotary in all aspects of its Global International Service. The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International has a single purpose, “to support the efforts of Rotary International to achieve world understanding and peace through international humanitarian, educational and cultural exchange programs”. Total assets now exceed US$670,000,000 and 100% of contributed funds are used for Rotary projects with administration costs being met by a proportion of the interest earned before the funds are expended.

Through Foundation grants and programs, Rotarians and other contributors can help change the world. They can finance a well for a village that lacks clean water, improve the environment, or provide scholarships to educate the next generation. The grants and programs available to Rotarians allow them to realize Rotary’s humanitarian mission throughout the world, including its number-one goal of eradicating polio.
