About The Rotary Foundation
The Rotary Foundation is a not-for-profit corporation that supports
the efforts of Rotary International to achieve world understanding and
peace through international humanitarian, educational, and cultural exchange programs.
It is supported solely by voluntary contributions from
Rotarians and friends of the Foundation who share its vision of a better
world.
The Foundation was created in 1917 by Rotary International's sixth president,
Arch C. Klumph, as an endowment fund for Rotary "to do good in the
world." It has grown from an initial contribution of US$26.50 to
more than US$55 million contributed in 2002-03. Its event-filled history is
a story of Rotarians learning the value of service to humanity.
The Foundation's Humanitarian
Programs fund international Rotary club and district projects to
improve the quality of life, providing health care, clean water, food,
education, and other essential needs primarily in the developing world.
One of the major Humanitarian Programs is PolioPlus,
which seeks to eradicate the polio virus worldwide. Through its Educational
Programs, the Foundation provides funding for some 1,200 students
to study abroad each year. Grants are also awarded to university teachers
to teach in developing countries and for exchanges of business and
professional people. Former participants in the Foundation's programs
have the opportunity to continue their affiliation with Rotary as Foundation
Alumni.
Paul Harris
Anyone who contributes – or in whose name is contributed – a
gift of US$1,000 or more to the Annual Programs Fund may become a Paul
Harris Fellow. Each new Paul Harris Fellow receives a commemorative certificate,
a Paul Harris Fellow pin, and a medallion. Donors are eligible for Paul
Harris Fellow recognition when their cumulative giving reaches US$1,000.
