The Foundation and what it means to Rotarians

During the past 100 years, the Foundation has spent $3 billion on life-changing, sustainable projects.

Rotary's 35,000 clubs carry out sustainable service projects that support our six causes: Promoting peace, providing clean water, saving mothers & children, supporting education, growing local economies, and fighting disease.

Also, the support from you and your fellow Rotarians have helped wipe out 99.9 percent of all polio cases. For more information on the Rotary Foundation, go here.
