Read about how Rotary helps not just our local community but around the world:
Rotary Foundation reached several milestones in 2024-25 bringing hope, resources, and sustainable solutions to more communities around the globe.
US$569 million was raised in the Rotary year that just ended! These funds are more than just donations — they are the means that allow the Foundation to support service projects in communities close to home and around the world.
And together, we reached an incredible goal of surpassing US$2.050 billion for our Endowment. This achievement dramatically enhances the long-term resources available for members to undertake life-changing initiatives far into the future.
Thanks to you, we’ve been achieving meaningful change. In 2024-25 The Rotary Foundation was able to:
Award 1,424 global grants, 468 district grants, and 74 disaster response grants
Renew our agreement with the Gates Foundation, recommitting to the fight to end polio
Award the Programs of Scale grant to an initiative that works to build peace in Colombia
Partner with Symbiosis International University to create a Rotary Peace Center in India
Because of you, Rotary members are able to address the world’s toughest challenges. This means helping people access clean water, education, health care, and disaster relief, while working steadfastly to eradicate polio.
Doing Good in the World starts with people like you. Thank you if you have ever supported a Rotary event.
Sincerely,
The Rotary Foundation
