Celebrating 100 Years

Rotary Foundation is celebrating 100 years of making a difference in communities around the globe.  Watch the video now…

By giving to The Rotary Foundation during our centennial year, you joined more donors than ever in empowering our Foundation to take on larger projects with greater impact. From developing nationwide literacy programs to training tomorrow’s peacemakers to helping push polio to the brink of eradication, your donation is Doing Good in the World.


Thank you for celebrating this tremendous milestone by giving. The Foundation’s second century — and the future of all who depend on its work — will be brighter because of you.
