Rotary Foundation

The Rotary Foundation offers Rotary grants that fund projects that ultimately
advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through the improvement of
health, the support of education, and the alleviation of poverty.

One of the local Rotary Foundation committee’s responsibilities is sharing stories with
club members about how The Rotary Foundation makes service projects possible.
When members connect Rotary projects with Foundation funding, they are
inspired to get involved and contribute.

At RCTS, we fundraise to support these causes:
