You can direct your Annual Fund contributions give to one of the areas of focus funds, the World Fund or SHARE, and all contributions are spent wisely on quality Rotary projects.
PolioPlus Fund
End Polio Now. Be a part of history and help Rotary achieve a polio-free world. Eligible for Paul Harris Fellow recognition. Make a one-time gift or enroll in recurring giving.
Rotary and its partners are on the brink of eradicating polio, but a strong push is needed now to end this tenacious disease once and for all. Your contributions support immunization campaigns in developing countries where polio continues to infect and paralyze children, robbing them of their futures and compounding the hardships faced by their families. As long as polio threatens even one child anywhere in the world, children everywhere remain at risk. By donating now, you can help Rotary achieve a polio-free world.
