As a global organization that operates in nearly every country in the world and deals in 29 currencies, Rotary takes stewardship of its funds seriously.

Our money is spent on life-changing, sustainable grants, as well as programs and services that support our members’ transformative work. We have invested $3 billion in thousands of projects over the past 100 years.
