Last Rotary year, you, other Rotarians, and our supporters and partners contributed over $569 million to The Rotary Foundation, exceeding the goal of raising $500 million. These funded fuel global and district grants, disaster response grants, and top priorities like the global eradication of polio. In 2024-25:

• 478,629 separate donors supported our Foundation
• 32,972 clubs contributed, including 1,893 Rotaract clubs
• 1,036 Rotaract clubs (a new record) earned the Rotaract Giving Certificate
• Rotary Direct saw a 3.3% increase, raising $12.7 million
• The Paul Harris Society grew 5% to 35,191 members
• Raise for Rotary raised $682,000 from over 50 countries

November is Rotary Foundation month. Please remember to:

• Thank the members of your clubs and districts for helping to complete a very successful fundraising year
• Remind them the goal is to have our Foundation supported by donations of $100 or more from Every Rotarian Every Year
• Highlight the ease of giving through Rotary Direct

If your club has a “Rotary Minute” at its meetings, why not use the above as your next topic?
