Rotary Foundation Gains Highest Award for Charity Fiscal Control

Rotary Foundation Charity is administered world-wide from our US headquarters in Evanston and was recently assessed by the organisation Charity Navigator as warranting its highest award for the way in which it manages the fund. Since less than a quarter of charities assessed by Charity Navigator attain this standard Rotary International is justifiably proud of its achievements. 

The philosophy and practices employed by Rotary Foundation are also used at  local level in all local charitable fund-raising efforts, meaning that anyone contributing to our charitable fund-raising efforts are assured the money will be administered in a way worthy of their trust.
