Rotary's chief roles are fundraising, advocacy, and mobilizing volunteers. Rotary members have contributed more than $1.2 billion and countless hours to protect more than 2.5 billion children in 122 countries from polio. Rotary is working to raise an additional $35 million per year through 2018 for polio eradication, to be matched 2 to 1 by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
