Foundation

The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International was created in 1917 for the purpose of "doing good in the world." Through the Foundation, Rotarians sponsor international educational and humanitarian programs, where some US$90 million is invested annually.

Rotary Foundation

During the past 100 years, The Rotary Foundation has spent $3 billion on life changing, sustainable projects around the world.

The Rotary Foundation is Rotary’s own and only charity delivering our vision of a better world.

The Rotary Foundation is supported solely by contributions from Rotary members and friends of the Foundation.

Those contributions, gifts and donations are transformed into service projects that change the lives of thousands of people across the world.

With 91% of funds spent on the programmes and projects it delivers, The Rotary Foundation, based at the Rotary Headquarters in Illinois, USA, is globally recognised for its financial efficiency, accountability and transparency

Rotary Foundation Grants

Each year, The Rotary Foundation gives $70 million worth of grants to Rotary clubs throughout the world for humanitarian projects, vocational training and scholarships in Rotary’s cause areas.

Ranging from small-scale, short term activities to large, international projects, Rotary grants strengthen global partnerships and provide sustainable and measurable benefits to communities.

Grants from The Rotary Foundation support over 1,000 projects every year.
