| 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. The Rotary Foundation is supported solely by voluntary contributions from Rotarians and friends of the Foundation who share its vision of a better world. The Rotary Foundation operates under our fourth Avenue of Service - International service. However, due to its importance and magnitude our District has decided to appoint District Committees and its own Coordinator to achieve our vision. |
