In 2016, The Rotary Foundation received the highest possible score from Charity Navigator - 100 of 100 points - for its strong financial health and commitment to accountability and transparency. It was the ninth straight year the Foundation earned a four-star rating form the independent evaluator of charities across the U.S., a distinction only 1 percent of charities have attained. The Association of Fundraising Professionals likewise named the Foundation the World's Outstanding Foundation for 2016, an award previously given to other familiar names such as Kellogg and MacArthur. These organizations agree: When you donate to The Rotary Foundation, you're investing wisely.
