Rotary Foundation
As well as giving service
in their own community, Rotarians are urged to reach out to the wider world.
The Rotary Foundation has been established to assist Rotary Clubs in
fulfilling this purpose.
The objective of The Rotary
Foundation is the furthering of understanding and friendly relations between
people of different nations through the fostering of tangible and effective
programmes of a philanthropic, charitable, educational, or other
eleemosynary nature.
The Mission of The Rotary
Foundation is to support the efforts of Rotary International in the
fulfillment of the Object of Rotary, Rotary’s Mission, and the
achievement of world understanding and peace through local, national, and
international humanitarian, educational and cultural programmes.
Your regular charitable
donations to The Rotary Foundation are vital to ensure that these objectives
can be met. Every Rotarian is urged to be a sustaining member of the
Foundation every year.
Recognitions of
various levels of cumulative giving are the Paul Harris Fellow, Multiple
Paul Harris Fellow; Benefactor, and Major Donor.
PolioPlus
is one of the most important current projects of the Rotary Foundation.
Together with other international agencies we are dedicated and committed to
the worldwide eradication of polio. To date, we have achieved a 99 percent
reduction in the number of polio cases worldwide. |
