DOING GOOD IN THE WORLD
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.
YOUR GIFT AT WORK
The Rotary Foundation transforms your gifts into service projects that change lives both close to home and around the world.
Since it was founded more than 100 years ago, the Foundation has spent more than $4 billion on life-changing, sustainable projects.
With your help, we can make lives better in our community and around the world.

Matching Gifts
Double the good your gift can do by having your employer match it. Visit rotary.org/matching gifts or ask your human resources department about your company’s matching gifts and volunteer grants programs.
Annual Fund-SHARE
The Annual Fund is the main funding source for Foundation programs. Your gift empowers Rotarians to carry out sustainable service projects in your community and around the world. At the end of each year, contributions directed to Annual Fund-SHARE from all Rotary clubs in the district are divided between the World Fund and the District Designated Fund.
The Rotary Foundation uses the World Fund to support Rotary’s highest-priority grants and programs, which are available to all Rotary districts.
Our district uses the District Designated Fund to pay for Foundation, club, and district projects the clubs in our district choose.
Rotary International is an organization you can support with confidence. It’s dedicated about 90 percent of its total spending to programs over the past 10 years, far exceeding the efficiency standards set by independent charity-rating services.
