AFP (Association of Fundraising Professionals) selected The Rotary Foundation as its 2017 Outstanding Foundation, and the organization will be honored at our International Fundraising Conference in San Francisco, April 30 – May 2. We were honored to have Rotary Foundation Chair Kalyan Banerjee answer our questions about the foundation, its impact and what’s ahead.

 

The mission of The Rotary Foundation is to enable Rotary members to advance world understanding, goodwill and peace through the improvement of health, the support of education and the alleviation of poverty.

 

The Association of Fundraising Professionals is such a prestigious organization so it’s an honor to win the Outstanding Foundation award. It shows that our organization is forward moving, innovative, upstanding and respected in the non-profit community.  It also feels great to recognize the hard work of our diligent members who serve selflessly to better the lives of others.  
In 2015-16, Rotary’s Annual Fund had its second highest year, with over $121.3 million in contributions.

 

We tap into a global network of Rotary members who invest their time, money, and expertise into our priorities, such as eradicating polio and promoting peace. Rotary grants empower

Rotary members to approach challenges such as poverty, illiteracy, and malnutrition with sustainable solutions that leave a lasting impact.
