The Rotary Foundation (Canada) (“TRFC”) is a Canadian registered charity, federally incorporated on December 22, 1967.
TRFC has an all-Canadian Board of Directors, which meets regularly and makes all decisions in connection with the management and investment of annual fund donations by Canadians.
TRFC is supported solely by voluntary contributions from Rotarians and friends of The Rotary Foundation, who share our vision of a better world.
Among the 27,000 Canadians belonging to 728 Rotary Clubs in Canada, TRFC is a means of donating to projects including the eradication of polio, which Rotary has been a trailblazer for over 40 years – working with and supporting our partners in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative.
We focus on projects that promote peace, fight disease, provide clean water, sanitation & hygiene, help mothers and children, support educatoin and grow local economies, as well as on Canadian and international disaster and humanitarian relief.
Canadian Rotarians are part of a larger international community of 1.4 million Rotarians and 45,000 Clubs around the world, and our members are familiar and proud of the demonstrated impacts of Rotary around the world.
Rotary has in the recent past hosted its annual international conventions attended by 30,000 to 35,000 Rotarians from Canada and from around the world in three Canadian cities Montreal (2010), Toronto (2018) and Calgary (2025).
Your donations are more important than ever. TRFC remains dedicated to ensure that every child is protected from polio, and that Canadian Rotarians have the access to grants that empower us to change lives and to continue to Do Good In The World.
Thank you to all Canadians who have donated and continue to support the Rotary Foundation Canada.
Together, we will take action, to build international relationships, to improve lives, to create a better world, to support our peace efforts, and to end polio forever.
