Rotary Foundation
The Rotary Foundation helps Rotary members to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace by improving health, providing quality education, improving the environment, and alleviating poverty. This support is essential to make possible projects, funded with Foundation grants, that bring sustainable improvement to communities in need. Some of these projects include PolioPlus, disaster response grants, vocational training teams, humanitarian projects, Rotary Peace Centers, and more.
The Foundation is a not-for-profit organization supported solely by voluntary contributions from Rotary members and friends of the Foundation who share its vision of a better world.
