PolioPlus. Since 1985, Rotary members have helped immunize more than 2.5 billion children against polio. Today, all but two countries are free of polio. As of June 2015, Rotary had committed more than $1.5 billion to global polio eradication to ensure that polio is eliminated in the last two countries where it remains and that it does not return elsewhere. In 2014-15, program awards, including PolioPlus Partners grants, totaled $123 million.
Rotary Peace Centers. Each year, the Foundation funds study by peace fellows at six Rotary Peace Centers, where they earn master’s degrees or professional development certificates. Since 2002-03, 1,071 fellows from more than 120 countries have participated. In 2014-15, there were 89 Rotary Peace Fellows from 39 countries, and program awards for the fellows and the Rotary Peace Centers totaled $3.8 million.
District grants. District grants support smaller-scale, short-term projectes related to the Foundation’s mission. In 2014-15, the Foundation approved 487 district grants, and project awards totaled $23.8 million.
Global grants. Global grants support large-scale international activities with sustainable, measurable outcomes that support Rotary’s six areas of focus: activities include humanitarian projects, scholarships, and vocational training teams. In 2014-15, the Foundation approved 1,078 global grants, and program awards totaled $64.9 million.
