Giving and Grants
Support projects close to your heart
The Rotary Foundation is grateful for its donors, whose support makes life-changing projects possible, locally and globally. Your gift to the Annual Fund brings about those impressive grants, which you read about here, to aid communities around the world. If you’ve already made your gift this year, thank you. If not, please consider doing so at rotary.org/give before 30 June to help us reach our $300 million fundraising goal for our centennial year.
