Foundation & International

It is said that "every minute of every day Rotary will touch the lives of millions
somewhere in the world."

The Rotary Foundation is Rotary's own charity.  It is supported by voluntary contributions from Rotarians and friends of the Foundation  and generous donations from the general public who share its vision of a better world.

Our International and Foundation Group provides help with fundraising, service and awareness raising of projects that mainly cover International communities.

The mission of The Rotary Foundation is to enable Rotarians to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through the improvement of health, the support of education, and the alleviation of poverty.  It has become one of the foremost non-governmental foundations with the educational support programme being the largest private scholarship endowment in the world.

Our recent projects include :

Polio Eradication - The fight to end polio is led by the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, which includes Rotary International, UNICEF, the U.S. Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health Organization, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and governments of the world, with the support of many others around the globe.  Brampton & Longtown Rotary raises funds and awareness of this important project.
