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.
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.
The Foundation’s six Areas of focus are:
1. Peace and Conflict prevention/resolution,
2. Disease prevention and treatment,
3. Water and sanitation,
4. Maternal and child health,
5. Basic education and literacy,
6. Economic and community development.
There are as many reasons to support The Rotary Foundation as there are ways to do good in the world. Through the Every Rotarian, Every Year (EREY) initiative, your contributions of any amount to the Annual Fund or the PolioPlus campaign are the primary source of funding for Foundation programs. Every Rotarian is encouraged to participate in a Foundation project and make a personal gift to the Annual Fund every year.
