TRF Milestone

Dear Baskaran,

With deepest gratitude, I am pleased to share that The Rotary Foundation reached several major milestones in 2024–25 that will expand our reach and increase our impact.
 
Together, we raised more than $569 million (unaudited) in gifts and commitments, surpassing our ambitious $500 million goal. Donors strengthened our future by contributing to the Endowment resulting in net assets and commitments of $2.050 billion as of 30 June 2025, exceeding our $2.025 billion by 2025 campaign goal! This generosity ensures that we will keep Doing Good in the World for generations to come.
 
Thanks to you, we've been achieving meaningful change. In 2024-25, The Rotary Foundation was able to:
  • Award 1,424 global grants, 468 district grants, and 74 disaster response grants
  • Renew our agreement with the Gates Foundation, recommitting to the fight to end polio
  • Award the Programs of Scale grant to an initiative that works to build peace in Colombia
  • Partner with Symbiosis International University to create a Rotary Peace Center in India

You are among the first to receive this update. Regional and district-level reports will be shared soon, and audited financial results will follow in the coming months. A special thank you and fundraising reveal video will also be sent to all who contributed to this success.

Thank you again for your leadership, service, and steadfast commitment to Doing Good in the World through The Rotary Foundation.

Sincerely,
Mark Daniel Maloney
Chair, The Rotary Foundation, 2024-25
