The mission of the Annual Programs Fund mirrors that of The Rotary Foundation: to enable Rotarians to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through the improvement of health, the support of education, and the alleviation of poverty.

Contributions to the Annual Programs Fund through the Every Rotarian, Every Year (EREY) initiative are the primary source of funding for Foundation programs, which cover more than 160 countries and geographical areas on seven continents. From digging water wells for villages in Africa to teaching basic literacy skills to children in Latin America, during any given moment, thousands of Rotarians volunteer their time and expertise. All contributions to the Annual Programs Fund are spent wisely on quality Rotary projects.

How to participate in EREY

Your donation can mean a world of difference. For example, a contribution of $100 can fund one year of tuition and books for two children in Kenya. 

Recognition

If you give $100 per year through EREY, you automatically become a Rotary Foundation Sustaining Member.

By donating $1,000 or more, you can become a Paul Harris Fellow.
