Rotary Charity Funds
The charitable funds raised by Rotary go directly to named charities or to deserving individuals. There are no administrative expenses as Rotarians give their time for free. Other expenses are kept to a minimum as Members often subsidise events and use their contacts to obtain sponsorship and prizes.
Rotary members monitor recipients to ensure that all donations are spent as intended. Where a supported project is out of our area, a Rotary Club near that location oversees the use of the funds on our behalf.
