Rotary International

Rotary International is a global organization of more than 35,000 Rotary clubs. Since 1905 its mission has been to provide service to others, promote high ethical standards, and advance world understanding, goodwill and peace by connecting business, professional and community leaders.

Rotary’s charitable arm is The Rotary Foundation, whose grants enable Rotary club members to advance that mission. The Foundation is funded solely by voluntary contributions from members and friends who share the Foundation’s vision of a better world.

More than 500 staff in Evanston, Illinois, USA, support Rotary and its Foundation. These staffers and their colleagues in seven satellite offices worldwide are committed to operational excellence, integrity, flexibility, and teamwork.
