It’s been quite a year. A global pandemic. Economic disruption. A renewed focus on social injustice. Climate change. And. through all this, Rotarians continue to demonstrate "service above self" in our communities and across the globe. Whether we’re restocking food pantries, helping to provide clean water, fighting addiction, eradicating polio, or supplying critical personal-protective equipment to our first responders, funding from The Rotary Foundation makes our work possible.
 
 
To watch a one-minute video that highlights the work of our Rotary Foundation, click here.
 
None of this could happen without your support. The dollars that enable our service to others come directly from our contributions to the Rotary Foundation. Donations to the Foundation are invested for three years, and then come back to us to fund District and Global grants for our clubs. The Foundation is the heart of Rotary, and our contributions are the lifeblood that keeps that heart beating strongly.
 
The Every Rotarian Every Year initiative asks every Rotarian to support the Rotary Foundation every year. As we approach the end of a year that will long be remembered for its challenges, we’re asking you to join us by including the Rotary Foundation in your year-end giving. Please donate today.
 
Because the Rotary Foundation is one of today’s top-rated charities, our contributions have a powerful impact. The world needs what Rotarians do more than ever before. Our support of the Rotary Foundation ensures that we can continue to lift up those around us who need our help.

The full amount of your gift to the Rotary Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation, is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
