the Foundation

The Mission Statement of The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International is to support the efforts of Rotary International in the fulfillment of the Object of Rotary, Rotary’s mission, and the achievement of world understanding and peace through local, national, and international humanitarian, educational, and cultural programs. In other words, The Rotary Foundation is the charitable funding vehicle for much of the work of Rotary. It is important for Every Rotarian Every Year to support The Rotary Foundation with a contribution. Rotarians around the world give generously to their Foundation to accomplish a wide range of programs. These gifts ensure that the dream of a better life becomes a reality for hundreds of thousands of deserving people throughout the world each year. The Annual Programs Fund supports the Foundation's programs today; the Permanent Fund is designed to secure the programs for tomorrow.

We invite you to invest in today's Rotary Foundation by making yearly gifts to the Annual Programs Fund.

And we invite you to invest in tomorrow by designating a gift from your current assets or a portion of your estate to the Permanent Fund. By participating, you will join fellow Rotarians whose combined efforts continue to improve and enrich the lives of thousands of needy people around the globe.
