The Rotary Foundation
The mission of The Rotary Foundation is to enable Rotarians to
advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through the
improvement of health, the support of education, and the alleviation
of poverty. The Foundation is a not-for-profit corporation supported
solely by voluntary contributions from Rotarians and friends of the
Foundation who share its vision of a better world.
Our Rotary Foundation is fuel for all the energy Rotarians worldwide have to “do good” in the world. Doin’ good has been the mission for the Foundation since its inception in 1912.
Our District 6970 Foundation Committee’s mission is to support each
club’s initiatives from fund raising to project fulfillment. Each of
our 11 sub-committees addresses a special area and is manned by
Rotarians who understand the process to make changes in our local
and world communities by using the opportunities of The Rotary Foundation.
You should find the answers here to many questions. More
importantly, you find the right contact should you need an expert
on any Foundation topic or a speaker for your club program. All of
us are here to serve and support you…how can we help?
