  • Rotary Foundation funding comes primarily from Rotarians
  • Annual Fund: contributions directed to SHARE, the World Fund, or one of Rotary's areas of focus, and spent wisely on quality Rotary projects
  • SHARE: contributions transformed into grants that fund local and international humanitarian projects, scholarships, and activities
  • EVERY ROTARIAN EVERY YEAR: encouraging every Rotarian to make a donation of any size, which can fund somewhere in the world a $10 mosquito net, $25 bunsen burner, $100 tiled water tub or an education
  • Endowment Fund
