About Rotary
Rotary International
The Rotary International is the world’s first service club organization. More than 1.2 million business, professional, and community leaders volunteer their time and talent to further the Rotary motto, Service Above Self. They provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and help build goodwill and peace in the world. Rotary international clubs are nonpolitical, nonreligious, and open to all cultures, races, and creeds.
Rotary Foundation
The Rotary Foundation enables Rotarians to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through the improvement of health, the support of education, and the alleviation of poverty. The Foundation is a not-for-profit corporation supported solely by voluntary contributions from Rotarians and friends of the Foundation who share its vision of a better world.
