Greetings Rotary Family,
November is a special time of the year as we celebrate our Rotary Foundation and the impact that we are having around the world. And our impact is significant! During the 2024–2025 Rotary year, our Rotary Foundation raised over $569 million in gifts and commitments. This total surpassed our ambitious fundraising goal of $500 million for the year.
The fundraising highlights for 2024–2025 include:
- Total funds raised: Over $569 million was collected through donations and pledges.
- Programs funded: Rotary and Rotaract clubs were able to fund thousands of projects around the world addressing challenges related to disease, clean water, peace, education, and economic development.
- Global Grants: 1,424
- District Grants: 468
- Disaster Response Grants: 74
- Endowment milestone: The foundation exceeded its $2.025 billion by 2025.
- Major partnership: A new agreement with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation was renewed to continue the collaborative fight to end polio.
- Programs of Scale grant: The Pathways to Peace and Prosperity in Colombia initiative was selected for a Programs of Scale grant. The program aims to strengthen conflict resolution capacity in affected areas.
Our Rotary Foundation’s financial achievements in 2024–2025 were made possible by our global network of supporters, whose contributions fund humanitarian projects and international aid.
For the 17th consecutive year, our Rotary Foundation has received the highest rating of four stars from Charity Navigator, an independent evaluator of charities in the U.S. This is an accomplishment of which to be very proud. I thank you for supporting our Rotary Foundation programs as we are truly “Doing Good in the World” every day. Thank you!
Yours in Rotary,
