Rotary is the leading non-governmental volunteer organization member of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative. Rotary International has helped immunize over 430 million children against polio in 39 different countries last year.

Thanks to a partnership with The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, every dollar raised by Rotarians is matched 2 to 1. By the time the world is certified polio-free, Rotary’s contributions to the global eradication effort will exceed US $2.2 billion, including US $985 million in matching funds from the Gates Foundation.

Rotarians represent a cross-section of businesses and professions. Rotary Clubs encourage members to participate in service to others as part of their activities. The organization initiates humanitarian programs that address today’s challenging issues, such as hunger, poverty, lack of clean water, peace and conflict resolution, and illiteracy.

Rotary club members include 1.2 million men and women who donate their expertise, time and funds to support local and international projects that help people in need and promote understanding among cultures.
