The Rotary Foundation was recently named the country's 2016 Outstanding Foundation by the Association of Fundraising Professionals. The Foundation will be honored in April in San Francisco.

 

The Rotary Foundation was honored for its ongoing work to promote peace, fight disease, provide clean water, support education, save mothers and children, and grow local economies. It also will be honored for contributing more than $1.6 billion and countless volunteer hours to vaccinate more than 2 billion children in 122 countries so they will not contract polio.
