Foundation Minute for Week of April 10

The Rotary Foundation ranked third in CNBC’s annual list of “Top 10 Charities Changing the World.”  The 2016 list included some of the largest and highest-rated charities that help women, children, the poor and the environment throughout the world, according to Charity Navigator.  The organizations also maintain high standards of financial health, accountability, and transparency of reporting.

The Rotary Foundation was noted for connecting 1.2 million members from more than 200 geographic areas to tackle the world’s most pressing humanitarian challenges, including projects that focus on disease prevention, water, sanitation and maternal and child health.  The ranking also recognized Rotary’s role in the effort to eradicate polio.  The Foundation made the list in 2015 as well.
