Matching people with money for positive results
In the words of Arch Klumph: “Money alone does little good. Individual service is helpless without money. The two together can be a godsend to civilization.” Your financial resources combined with your time, energy and talent is critical to Rotary’s mission. 89% of your contribution goes directly to the programs of The Rotary Foundation while 2% is used for administration and 9% is for fundraising. These percentages are remarkable among charities across the world. This is why The Rotary Foundation gets such high marks from organizations that rank charities, such as Charity Navigator and the Better Business Bureau.
As Rotarians, there is no better place to donate our money. We get to use our own contributions to do good in the world.

Being a Rotary Foundation Sustaining Member
What can you get for US$100 dollars these days?

When you choose to support our Rotary Foundation you are making a difference in two ways: you are changing lives and you are literally saving lives. What an amazing thing to be able to say!
