The Rotary Foundation of RI is a not-forprofit
corporation whose mission is to enable
Rotarians to advance world understanding,
goodwill, and peace through the improvement
of health, the support of education, and the
alleviation of poverty.
Financial Support
In the year ended 30 June 2007, The Rotary
Foundation received contributions totaling
US$133.1 million and spent $118.9 million
in support of humanitarian and educational
programs implemented by clubs and districts.
Contributions from Rotarians go into one of three main funds:
v
Annual Programs Fund
, which provides grants and
awards through Foundation programs
v
Permanent Fund
, an endowment from which only a
portion of the earnings are spent in support of Foundation
programs, ensuring the long-term viability of the
Foundation
v
PolioPlus Fund
, which supports Rotary's dream of a
polio-free world
Every dollar contributed by Rotarians funds the humanitarian,
educational, and cultural programs and program operations.
Clubs and districts apply for and receive Foundation grants to
carry out many worthy projects worldwide. The Every Rotarian,
Every Year initiative, designed to encourage worldwide
annual per capita giving of $100 or more, supports vital Foundation
programs.
