YOUR GIFT TO THE WORLD.  "Integrity in management of funds and providing hope to millions around the world make giving to The Rotary Foundation a pleasure and a privilege.  Once you begin giving, you always desire to give more.  Every Rotarian, Every Year is a commitment for life." - RAJU (T.N. SUBRAMANIAN) - ROTARY CLUB OF DEONAR, MAHARASHTRA, INDIA, DISTRICT 3140

Your contribution keeps on giving.  Your contribution to The Rotary Foundation supports both local and global projects identified by Rotarians around the world.

When you make an annual contribution to The Rotary Foundation, you can be confident that 50 percent of that gift will come right back to your district in three years to be used for educational and humanitarian programs and for projects in your local community.  The other portion of your contribution benefits the World Fund in support of our commitment to international service.  The three-year SHARE investment cycle ensures that 100 percent of your contribution is spent on Rotary Programs and grants.

The following programs are examples of Rotarian efforts supported by our Annual Programs Fund:

      • Ambassadorial Scholarships
      • District Simplified Grants
      • Group Study Exchange
      • Health, Hunger and Humanity (3-H) Grants
      • Matching Grants
      • Rotary Grants for University Teachers
      • Rotary World Peace Fellowships
      • Volunteer Service Grants

"I support the Foundation because I strongly believe in what the Foundation does.  Rotary changes the lives of so many people around the world, and I feel quite privileged to be part of a family that truly cares and does make a difference." --WILLIAM REGINALD PATCHETT -- ROTARY CLUB OF COBOURG, ONTARIO, CANADA, DISTRICT 7070
