Our Rotary Foundation Gifts Change Lives

All Newport Rotary members give to our Rotary Foundation! Because of Rotary members and donors worldwide, our Foundation continues to help make lasting change in communities both close to home and far away. Together, we raised more than US$477 million in the Rotary year that just ended! These gifts are more than just donations. They are the reason that our Foundation can support sustainable projects that improve people’s health, expand access to education, protect the environment, alleviate poverty, and promote peace. 


Thanks to these donations our Foundation  has been achieving meaningful change. The Rotary Foundation was able to: 
  • Award 1,804 global grants, 463 district grants, and 61 disaster response grants in 2025-26
  • Work with our partners to vaccinate more than 350 million children in 28 countries during 2025
  • Open our newest Rotary Peace Center at Symbiosis International University in India 
Newport Rotarians, thank you for your generosity and for choosing to support our Foundation. Your gift is creating opportunities, strengthening communities, and advancing Rotary’s mission around the world. This means helping people access clean water, healthcare, and disaster relief, while working steadfastly to eradicate polio. We are deeply grateful for your partnership in creating lasting change. Doing Good in the World starts with us! Thank you for your generosity.
