How Rotary programs benefit
Once you have decided to support the Rotary Club of Windsor Foundation Fund, you can provide further direction on how available earnings are spent. A gift toRotary Club of Windsor Foundation Fund allows the Trustees to direct support where it is most needed around the world. This is the default for gifts that come to the Foundation undesignated. Alternatively, if you can select a particular project, for the Foundation to direct a the funds towards. This functions like a perpetual annual fund gift. You may also support one or more of the six areas of focus.
AREAS OF FOCUS
We have identified specific causes to target to maximize our local and global impact. At the same time, we understand that each community has its own unique needs and concerns.
Through global grants and other resources, we help clubs focus their service efforts in the following areas.
1. PROMOTING PEACE
2. FIGHTING DISEASE
3. PROVIDING CLEAN WATER
4. SAVING MOTHERS AND CHILDREN
5. SUPPORTING EDUCATION
Sixty-seven million children worldwide have no access to education and more than 775 million people over the age of 15 are illiterate. Our goal is to strengthen the capacity of communities to support basic education and literacy, reduce gender disparity in education, and increase adult literacy.

6. GROWING LOCAL ECONOMIES
Nearly 1.4 billion employed people live on less than $1.25 a day. We carry out service projects that enhance economic and community development and develop opportunities for decent and productive work for young and old. We also help strengthen local entrepreneurs and community leaders, particularly women, in impoverished communities.
