The mission of The Rotary Foundation is to enable Rotarians to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through the improvement of health, the support of education, and the alleviation of poverty.
 
The Rotary Foundation (Canada) is a Canadian federally chartered corporation and Canadian registered charity supported solely by voluntary contributions from Rotarians and friends of The Rotary Foundation who share its vision of a better world. 

The Rotary Foundation was created in 1917 by Rotary International's sixth president, Arch C. Klumph, as an endowment fund for Rotary "to do good in the world."  Today our top organizational priority continues to be the eradication of polio. The number of polio cases has decreased by 99.9 percent since we launched our PolioPlus program in 1985 in support of the global effort to end the disease. Find out more in at endpolio.org.
 
Locally our programs and activities use Rotary grants to carry out projects, boosting our capacity to serve communities here and throughout the world through expanded support for our six areas of focus.
  1. Disease Prevention & Treatment
  2. Water & Sanitation
  3. Economic & Community Development
  4. Education & Literacy
  5. Maternal & Child Health
  6. Peace & Conflict Prevention/Resolution
Who is a Paul Harris Fellow?
A Paul Harris Fellow is an individual who contributes US$1,000 or in whose name that amount is contributed to the Rotary Foundation. Paul Harris Fellow recognition was created in memory of Paul Harris, the founder of Rotary as a way to show appreciation for contributions to the Rotary Foundation's charitable and educational programs. 
 
Every Paul Harris Fellow receives a pin and a certificate when he or she becomes a Fellow. This identifies the Paul Harris Fellow as an advocate of the Rotary Foundation's goals of world peace and international understanding.
 
The Toronto East Rotary Club may present a Paul Harris Fellow award as an honour to an individual who demonstrates significant support for the work of The Rotary Foundation or extraordinary service to the community.  The nominee should hold the same values and ethics as defined by the Object of Rotary and the Four-Way test.
     
The Object of Rotary
The Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster:
• FIRST. The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service;
• SECOND. High ethical standards in business and professions, the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations, and the dignifying of each person’s occupation as an opportunity to serve society;
• THIRD. The application of the ideal of service in each person’s personal, business, and community life;
• FOURTH. The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.
 
The Four-Way Test
Of the things we think, say or do
1. Is it the TRUTH?
2. Is it FAIR to all concerned?
3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
