The Annual Programs Fund is the primary source of unrestricted support for the
programs of The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International. The mission of the
Annual Programs Fund mirrors that of The Rotary Foundation: to support the
efforts of Rotary International in the achievement of world understanding and
peace through local, national, and international humanitarian, educational, and
cultural programs.
The Annual Programs Fund supports Foundation programs in 163 countries on seven continents. From digging clean water wells for villages in Africa to teaching basic literacy skills to children in Latin America, during any given moment in a day, thousands of Rotarians volunteer their time and expertise to ensure that all contributions given to the Annual Programs Fund are spent wisely on quality Rotary projects.
