Celebrating Rotary Foundation
Since Rotary Foundation was founded more than 100 years ago, it has spent more than $4 billion on life-changing, sustainable projects. The Foundation awarded $86,677,399 in funding to 1,306 grants during fiscal year 2018. Here is a breakdown of causes the grants supported.
 
 
In 2020. the Rotary Foundation had more requests than funds. We need your support to do more Good in the World. Join the fun on Wednesday, March 12 at 8pm for the Rotary Foundation Gala & Fundraiser. Go to: www.bit.ly/TRF-Gala.
 
 
Next Generation of Leaders
Rotary believes in developing the next generation of leaders. Our programs help younger leaders build leadership skills, expand education and learn the value of service. 
 
Every year, over 350,000 youth participate in Rotary’s youth programs. We encouraged Interactors, RYLA participants, Youth Exchange students, and their mentors to get involved in service. They needed more guidance on getting started, the type of projects they should do, and effective strategies for engagement. 
 
 
Over the past year, Caitlin Cangialosi, Rotary International Programs and Engagement Specialist worked together with the National Youth Leadership Council (NYLC), a leading organization in youth engagement, to develop new resources using an innovative approach to youth engagement, known as service-learning, which empower young people to enact real change in their communities by combining community service with learning objectives.
