Dear Rotarians,One of Rotary’s greatest strengths is the ability of our members to come together to create lasting change, and The Rotary Foundation helps us transform dreams of change into reality.
From eradicating polio to building peace, much of the work we do around the world would not be possible without our continued support of our different Foundations.
The many foundations that exist within the rotary structure offer so many ways to change the world for the better. It is a great time to get to know your Foundation better and pursue causes that appeal to you.
Global grants support large international activities with sustainable, measurable outcomes in Rotary’s areas of focus. By working together to respond to pressing community needs, clubs and districts strengthen their global partnerships.
District grants fund small-scale, short-term activities that address needs in your community and in communities abroad. Each district chooses which activities it will fund with these grants.
The Rotary Club to End Human Trafficking (RCEHT) also has its own Foundation that helps support projects around the world with a focus on economic development to prevent the scourge of human trafficking. Despite our Foundation’s relative youth, this year alone our club has co-sponsored a global grant with the Rotary Club of Edina to prevent the illicit recruitment of the youth in Cuenca, Ecuador and co-sponsored two separate youth education programs in the states of Georgia and Florida.
Your gifts to our Foundation make these projects possible.
The Magic of Rotary does not appear out of nowhere. We create the magic with every new member inducted, every project completed, and every dollar donated to our Foundation.
Please join me in supporting The Rotary Foundation, and the RCEHT Foundation, and together, we will change the world for the better.
