The Rotary Foundation
During the past 100 years, the Foundation has spent $3 billion
.
on life-changing, sustainable projects
How does The Rotary Foundation use
donations?
Our 35,000 clubs carry out sustainable service projects that support
our six causes. With donations like yours, we’ve wiped out 99.9
percent of all polio cases. Your donation also trains future
peacemakers, supports clean water, and strengthens local
economies.
What impact can one donation have?
It can save a life. A child can be protected from polio with as little as
60 cents. Our partners make your donation go even further. For
every $1 Rotary commits to polio eradication, the Bill & Melinda
Gates Foundation has committed $2.

Providing clean water
Rotary don’t just build wells and walk away. Rotary members
integrate water, sanitation, and hygiene into education projects.
When children learn about disease transmission and practice good
hygiene, they miss less school. And they can take those lessons home
to their families, expanding our impact.
