The Rotary Foundation Resources

The Rotary Foundation helps Rotarians to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace by improving health, providing quality education, improving the environment, and alleviating poverty. Founded in 1917, the Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation supported solely by voluntary contributions from Rotary members and friends of the Foundation who share its vision of a better world. This support is essential to make possible projects, funded with Foundation grants, that bring sustainable improvement to communities in need.

The major role of The Rotary Foundation District Committee is to promote, develop and implement all programs of The Rotary Foundation within the clubs of District 9685 and to design and implement Foundation programs in accordance with requirements prescribed by Rotary International.
 
For our support of The Rotary Foundation to be truly effective, it is important that we have a 100% participation in these programs by the clubs of our District and achieve Annual Giving to The Rotary Foundation of at least US$100 per member. The “Every Rotarian Every Year” concept relies heavily on personal giving by Rotarians and it is in this area where we can make the greatest improvement. The Rotary Foundation's programs give a value in excess of US$100m each year but for this to happen, there must be a corresponding strong inflow of funds.
