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.

Fellow Rotarians,

Season Greetings!

Our Rotary journey is built on service and a shared commitment to making the world a better place.

The Rotary Foundation’s mission is simple: “to enable Rotarians to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through the improvement of health, support of education, and alleviation of poverty.”

There are as many reasons to join Rotary as there are members. Most join for experiences — new friendships, expanding professional circles, or putting Service Above Self into action to create impact.

The great use of a life,” wrote American philosopher William James in 1900, “is to spend it for something that outlasts it.”

As September unfolds, Rotary International embraces the significance of the Basic Education and Literacy Month.

The Rotary Foundation is the backbone of Rotary, the shining jewel in Rotary’s crown. It allows us to put our service, thoughts and ideas into action.
