Every Rotarian Every Year

 

 

The Rotary Foundation makes it possible for Rotarians to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace by supporting projects that improve health, support education, and alleviate poverty. The Annual Fund is the primary source of funding for Foundation activities. Your contributions help Rotarians carry out a broad range of local and international projects. Every Rotarian is encouraged to participate in a Foundation project and contribute to the Annual Fund every year.

 

At the end of each Rotary year, Annual FundSHARE contributions from all of the Rotary clubs in the district are divided between the World Fund and the District Designated Fund (DDF). The Rotary Foundation uses the World Fund portion to pay for the Foundation activities that are available to all Rotary clubs. Your district uses the DDF portion to participate in Foundation grants and activities that your club and others in the district choose. The Annual Fund’s unique three-year investment cycle gives clubs time to plan high-impact, sustainable activities and the Foundation time to invest the contributions. These investment earnings help cover the Foundation’s administrative and fundraising expenses. Your contribution will be used to fund local and international service projects, scholarships, and vocational training teams.

 

Rotary clubs serve communities around the world, each of which has unique concerns and needs. Many of the most successful and sustainable Rotary service activities fall into one of the following areas: Peace and conflict prevention/resolution Disease prevention and treatment Water and sanitation Maternal and child health Basic education and literacy Economic and community development Generous support from Rotarians and friends like you funds local and international projects in these areas, helping Rotary transform lives. When you give to the Foundation, you do so with the knowledge that no other organization can leverage your contribution like Rotary. Our global network of volunteers and technical experts is committed to the highest ethical standards, ensuring that your investment of time and money is put to good use.
