What are the benefits of fundraising for The Rotary Foundation?

When you give to The Rotary Foundation, you help advance communities, improve health, and promote peace. Your support is essential to make grant-funded humanitarian projects, scholarships, and activities, such as vocational training teams possible.

What’s more, the money you raise for the Foundation benefits you, your club, and your district. Here’s how:

Annual giving

When you donate to the Annual Fund-SHARE, a portion of those funds becomes available to your district each year through the District Designated Fund. At the end of three years, your district can use this money to pay for Foundation, club, and district projects.

Help your fund grow by participating in the Every Rotarian, Every Year fundraising effort. Learn more about Foundation funding.

Major giving

When you make a gift of $10,000 or more, you are providing crucial support for Rotary. If you give to the Endowment Fund, you are ensuring a strong future for the Foundation by providing a continuous stream of income to fund Foundation grants and activities.
