Rotary is focused on several critically important causes that make a significant difference to the lives of people in need, in Australia and around the world. These causes align closely with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
Rotary Foundation Australia gives you the opportunity to invest in humanitarian outcomes that are very tightly aligned with your purpose. Our donors can choose which cause (or causes) they wish to support and large donors can engage with us to direct their support to specific Rotary projects.
Causes
CSR Grants
In April 2023, the Trustees of The Rotary Foundation approved a new kind of grant for deployment in Australia and Brazil—Corporate Social Responsibility Grants, or CSR Grants.
CSR Grants provide a straightforward way for corporations to engage with Rotary in the delivery of mutually agreed outcomes.

End polio now
Today, polio cases are reduced by 99.9%. Rotary needs your support to complete the job.
Since our first project to vaccinate children in the Philippines in 1979, Rotary members have contributed more than US$2.1 billion and countless volunteer hours to protect nearly 3 billion children in 122 countries from this paralyzing disease. Rotary’s advocacy efforts have played a role in decisions by governments to contribute more than US$10 billion to the effort. With polio remaining endemic in Afghanistan and Pakistan, it’s crucial to continue vaccination and prevent up to 200,000 child infections yearly.
