The Foundation is a not-for-profit organization supported solely by voluntary contributions from Rotary members and friends of the Foundation who share the vision of a better world. This support is essential to make possible projects, funded with Foundation grants, that bring sustainable improvements to communities in need.
 
The Rotary Foundation offers grants that support a variety of projects.
District Grants are block grants that enable clubs and districts to address needs in their communities and abroad.
Global Grants offer clubs and districts opportunities to participate in strategically focused high-impact activities. These grants fund large-scale international humanitarian projects, vocational training teams, and graduate and postgraduate scholarships.
