Rotary International has its own Charity - Foundation

It's an intriguing charity and often misunderstood. District Foundation can advise whether the Club can apply for a District Grant for a local charity project - Kate Maskall PHF

This short video explains what the charity is. It's an American club explaining the concept but the same rules apply for Blyth Valley Rotary

"Foundation is governed by Rotarians; clubs have a direct say over where the money goes. Instead of writing a cheque to an external charity and losing track of the funds, the Foundation lets a local club propose a project, apply for a grant, and manage the humanitarian work directly. [1, 2]

Would you like to explore a specific aspect of the Foundation in more detail? I can:

1. Explain how a local club can apply for and set up a District or Global Grant.
2. Give you a breakdown of the "End Polio Now" initiative and how it functions.
3. Detail how individuals can set up recurring giving through Rotary Direct."
