GIVE THE GIFT OF ROTARY
For more than 100 years, The Rotary Foundation has been supporting Rotarians’ work to create sustainable solutions to our world’s most pressing needs. But there is still much to do, and we need your help.
Rotary gives in countless ways, focusing our service efforts in six areas: promoting peace, fighting disease, providing clean water, saving mothers and children, supporting education, and growing local economies. We’re also working hard to end polio once and for all.
Give the gift of Rotary today and be a part of the positive change Rotarians are making in your community and around the world. Every gift makes a difference.
What your gift supports
$10 mosquito bed net
Bed nets provide a safe, peaceful night’s rest in countries like Uganda, where malaria is a major health concern.
$15 polio vaccines
Polio is still a crippling threat to children in Afghanistan, Nigeria, and Pakistan. A gift of just $15 can protect children for life.
$50 water filter
In rural Guatemala, deadly waterborne diseases are common. Personal water filters fill the need for clean water.
$85 business classes
In the United States, business classes teach low-income entrepreneurs the skills they need to be successful.
$100 sewing machine
With a sewing machine, a microloan, and some training from Rotary, entrepreneurs can turn their sewing skills into a thriving business.
$200 medical equipment
Newborns start their lives healthy when hospitals have up-to-date equipment to care for babies in the first moments of their lives.
$500 anti-bullying campaign
No child should live in fear of being bullied. Your gift helps communities create a safe and positive atmosphere where children can thrive.
$1,000 conflict resolution training
When secondary school students learn to resolve conflict, they can build a more peaceful and secure future for themselves and their communities.
$2,650 irrigation system
In areas where food security is a concern, irrigation systems give farmers a reliable and efficient water source so they can grow crops and provide food for the community.
Your gift supports projects like those described here but may not purchase the specific items listed.
