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.
Specifically, the RI Board and the Trustees are committed to achieving the goals of eradication polio through the completion of PolioPlus program; emphasizing and strengthening educational and cultural programs, which enhance goodwill and understanding; making grants that fulfill The Rotary Foundation hahumanitarian needs in all areas of the world; and expanding programs to strengthen peaceful relations among people.
The Foundation is a not-for-profit corporation supported solely by voluntary contributions from Rotarians and friends of the Foundation who share its vision of a better world.
I believe Arch Klumph, President of Rotary International (1916-1917) said it best at the Rotary International Convention in Philadelphia, PA of 1916, “Rotary Should develop a fund To Do Good in the World”. That fund started in 1917 with a donation of $26.50. Today it has grown to over $300,000,000.00 per year, “Doing Good in the World”. It has become the engine that drives Rotary. The funds are invested for three (3) years , and the earnings are used to operate the Rotary Foundation. The funds donated are then used for Rotary Grants. These Grants are managed by Rotary volunteers, so more of the donations go directly to Projects.
