Rotary Foundation Month

Nov 5

Rotary celebrates November as Rotary Foundation month. The Rotary Foundation is a not-for-profit charity that funds projects that change lives by addressing global issues like polio eradication, clean water, peacemaking, and strengthening local economies.

We're proud that, for the 16th consecutive year, The Rotary Foundation has received the highest rating of four stars from Charity Navigator, an independent evaluator of charities in the U.S. This extraordinary accomplishment demonstrates our commitment to high ethical standards and our dedication to Service Above Self.

Since its founding over 100 years ago, the Foundation has delivered more than $4 billion in funding for life-changing, sustainable projects. The chart on the right shows Rotary Foundation's 2023-2024 project funding by Areas of Focus:
