Description: From a single idea proposed in 1917 to a global network of service, The Rotary Foundation is one of the world's most enduring engines of humanitarian work. This book traces its history and inner workings, from how it is organized and funded to the grants that turn good intentions into lasting results. Along the way, it follows the decades-long campaign against polio, the investment in scholars and young leaders, and the efforts to bring clean water and sanitation to communities in need. Thoughtful and wide-ranging, it offers a clear look at how a volunteer-driven organization has pursued change on a worldwide scale, and where it hopes to go next.
