Good management of the Rotary Foundation

Transcript :

The Rotary Foundation operates through a network of Rotary volunteers, which limits administrative costs.

In addition, it relies on partnerships with international organizations such as the WHO, UNICEF and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

91% of donations to The Rotary Foundation are used directly to fund programs: grants for local and international projects, scholarships, public health initiatives (such as polio eradication), peace programs, access to water, etc.

Less than 9% is allocated to administrative costs (internal management, personnel, audits, infrastructure) and fundraising costs (donation campaigns, communications)

These figures come from the Foundation’s annual financial reports and evaluations by independent organizations such as Charity Navigator, which regularly awards the Rotary Foundation a 4-star rating (the highest), particularly for its effectiveness and financial transparency.

The Rotary Foundation therefore embodies an exemplary model of effective and responsible philanthropy.
