It’s time to consider making a donation to the Rotary Foundation.

Why Contribute ?
The Foundation is Rotary’s International charity. Its Mission is to enable Rotarians to advance world understanding, goodwill and peace.
This is achieved through the Areas of Focus for projects that include Water, Sanitation & Hygiene, Basic Education & Literacy, Maternal & Child Health, Supporting the Environment and Fighting disease.
The Foundation allocates around $100 million globally each year across these areas, mainly through Global and District grants.
