End Polio Now. Be a part of history and help Rotary achieve a polio-free world. Eligible for Paul Harris Fellow recognition. Make a one-time gift or enroll in recurring giving. Rotary and its partners are on the brink of eradicating polio, but a strong push is needed now to end this tenacious disease once and for all. Your contributions support immunization campaigns in developing countries where polio continues to infect and paralyze children, robbing them of their futures and compounding the hardships faced by their families. As long as polio threatens even one child anywhere in the world, children everywhere remain at risk. By donating now, you can help Rotary achieve a polio-free world.

 

Endowment

Make a one-time gift or enroll in recurring giving. Spendable earnings from the Endowment Fund help ensure a strong future for the Foundation by supplementing the Annual Fund and supporting Rotary's highest priorities. Your contributions to the Endowment Fund secure the Foundation's future and enable Rotarians and friends to fulfill their philanthropic goals

Rotary Peace Centers

The Rotary Peace Centers equip future world and community leaders with the professional training and experience necessary to prevent and resolve conflict. Make a one-time or recurring gift to help create a world where peace is possible. The Rotary Peace Centers program enables peace fellows to pursue a master’s degree or professional development certificate in international studies, peace studies, conflict resolution, or a related field. Rotary

Peace Fellowships pay for transportation, tuition, qualified internships, room and board, and related expenses.

Grants

Give to projects funded by an existing Foundation grant. Rotarians can make cash contributions to specific projects approved by the Foundation.
