Bringing Smiles To Those in Need Mother Theresa said “Peace Begins with a Smile”. Rotarians around the world put that into action every day. One example of this is a Rotary Foundation Volunteer Service Grant that helped Dr. Marco Antonio Bulas, of the Rotary Club of Tehuacan Manantrails, Mexico and Rotary volunteers from the Rotary Club of Loveland, Colorado, USA carry out project Sonrisas Sin Fronteras (Smiles without Borders). The Rotary volunteers and a team of 23 university dental students provided dentures for 22 patients. “All of the team watched with great satisfaction as each patient was overcome with joy and happiness” commented Ronnie Hogan, a member of the Loveland club. Every Rotarian, Every Year can bring a smile to the face of someone in need.

Every Rotarian, Every Year Every minute of every day someone’s life is being improved by our Rotary Foundation. Wells are being dug in India, blind children are using Braille typewriters in Brazil, toilets are part of improved sanitation in Sri Lanka, and dental treatment is available to the needy in Nicaragua. In a world where the divide between the haves and have-nots is growing, we as Rotarians must do our part and “do good in the world.” Every Rotarian, every project, and every contribution makes a difference every year.
PolioPlus In 1985, Rotarians made a promise to the children of the world to eradicate polio. Since PolioPlus began, the number of polio cases worldwide has declined by 99 percent, thanks largely to the efforts of Rotarians around the world. Rotarians have committed nearly US$650 million toward global polio eradication efforts. Already, five million children are walking who would have been paralyzed, and more than 1.5 million lives have been saved. None of this would be possible if it weren’t for Rotary’s leadership and vision. What a wonderful legacy we are leaving to the children of the world. Goodbye Polio. Thank you, Rotary.
Rotary Foundation Founder A member of the Rotary Club of Cleveland, Ohio, USA, Arch C. Klumph served as the RI president in the 1913-14 Rotary year. In 1917, Klumph declared that “we should accept endowments for the purpose of doing good in the world in charitable, educational, and other avenues of community service.” His vision and a contribution of US$26 left over from the RI Convention helped to establish the charitable and humanitarian arm of our organization, The Rotary Foundation. Due to the hard work and generosity of Rotarians worldwide, The Rotary Foundation has improved lives for over 90 years. With ongoing financial support, our Foundation will continue to carry on Klumph’s dream well into our second century of service.
District Simplified Grants District Simplified Grants allow Rotary clubs to identify, plan, and fund worthy projects in their own communities or internationally. Grants can fund improvements such as kitchen equipment for a food pantry, assistance for after-school programs, dictionaries or encyclopedias for primary school children, or renovations to a playground. The more we contribute to our Foundation’s Annual Programs Fund, the more opportunities and funding we will have for such projects. The Rotary Foundation allows us to “do good in the world” here in our own community, as well as internationally.
