A global network committed to addressing humanitarian challenges, The Rotary Foundation recently announced it donated US$50 million in grants to bolster worldwide efforts to eliminate polio. The foundation has agreed to an annual two-to-one partnership with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, whereby a total of $150 million will be donated each year. This year’s donation will provide polio vaccinations to up to 38.4 million children throughout Africa and the Middle East.
