CELEBRATE FOUNDATION MONTH WITH A GIFT In November, Rotary members celebrate The Rotary Foundation. It’s a great time to share with your members how the Foundation transforms their gifts into service projects that change lives both close to home and around the world. Here are three more ways you can support the Foundation: Make a gift to our Annual Fund-SHARE on Giving Tuesday, 30 November. Last year, Rotary members contributed more than $800,000 for the occasion. Share our video message. Give the gift of Rotary to make an impact in communities around the world. Your gift helps create lasting change, from supplying filters that purify drinking water to empowering local entrepreneurs through business training. Start a fundraiser using our peer-to-peer fundraising tool, Raise for Rotary. You can create online fundraising pages to support the Foundation that are easy to share with family and friends through social media and email.

 

Rotary’s Areas of Focus (Part 1 of 2)

 

Rotary is dedicated to seven areas of focus to build international relationships, improve lives, and create a better world to support our peace efforts and end polio forever.

 

• Promoting peace: Rotary encourages conversations to foster understanding within and across cultures. We train adults and young leaders to prevent and mediate conflict and help refugees who have fled dangerous areas.

 

• Fighting disease: We educate and equip communities to stop the spread of life-threatening diseases like polio, HIV/AIDS, and malaria. We improve and expand access to low-cost and free health care in developing areas.

 

• Providing clean water, sanitation, and hygiene: We support local solutions to bring clean water, sanitation, and hygiene to more people every day. We don’t just build wells and walk away. We share our expertise with community leaders and educators to make sure our projects succeed long-term.
