Rotary's own charity


The Rotary Foundation

The Rotary Foundation is Rotary's own charity. Our simple purpose is to do good in the world. Our mission is to advance world understanding, goodwill and peace through the support of education, the improvement of health and the alleviation of poverty. The Rotary Foundation  is an international trust whose trustees are Rotarians.  In effect, our Foundation is Rotary in action as an international humanitarian and educational charity.

Rotary International is a worldwide organisation with 32,000 clubs in almost every country of the world.  We are committed to service for communities throughout the world.  Many Rotarians have vocational skills that they use to support humanitarian and educational projects that help to make their communities better places. The Rotary Foundation harnesses the potential of this worldwide organisation by helping clubs to undertake humanitarian and educational work.
