TRFs Fund-raising Challenge
Rotary is committed to raising US$50 million every year for polio eradication. Through our partnership with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, every $1 of that is matched 2-to-1.
Raising both funds and awareness and mobilizing volunteers are among Rotary’s primary roles as a partner in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative. Withour members, we’ve contributed more than $2.6 billion to fight polio, including matching funds from the Gates Foundation, and Rotary vollunteers have dedicated countless hours to protecting children everywhere.
