What is The Rotary Foundation’s Funding Cycle?

The Rotary Foundation has a unique funding cycle that utilizes contributions for programs three years after they are received. The three-year cycle gives districts time for program planning and participant selections, and allows The Rotary Foundation to invest the contributions. The earnings from those investments help pay for administration, program operations and fund development costs.

Your contributions to the Annual Fund in Rotary year 2020-21 will be invested in Rotary year 2021-22, and projects will be selected in Rotary year 2022-23, with the funds actually spent in Rotary year 2023-24.
