Annual Fund

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.

A full 100 percent of each contribution to the Annual Programs Fund is spent directly on Foundation programs that truly make a difference in the world.

District 5220 has contributions to The Rotary Foundation's Annual Programs Fund of $176,877.50 for the first 6 months of our Rotary year, well on our way to reach Governor Dick's goal of $312,500.00 for the year.
