From a Local Idea to Global Altruism

Founded by the Kongens Lyngby Rotary Club in Denmark, our fund bridges the gap between professional asset management and humanitarian aid.

Our idea

Adonation to The Rotary Investment Fund will be invested – and not turned into a grant immediately and spent.

  1. Donations are 100% invested. The return on donations and the invested capital is used for grants.

  2. The ongoing expenses are covered by membership fees.

  3. We partner with professional investors to maximize profit and value creation globally.

  4. Sharing earnings with carefully chosen projects that meet Rotary’s high standards.

Would you like to be part of the initiative? Then you can:

  • either donate in the assurance that your gift will be used without restriction to support good causes

  • or take out a membership so that the fee can cover costs for, among other things, the platform and licenses.

Ready to Make Your Good Greater?

Every dollar you contribute is invested directly into our fund. Because our administrative costs are covered by membership fees, 100% of your donation goes to work, creating a legacy of sustainable aid.

Current focus area

Rotary Investment Fund seeks to inspire and recognise young people who make a positive difference in the lives of others.

We have chosen to support upper-secondary school students and award a scholarship to those pupils who best meet our criteria for being a good friend. By supporting a good friend, we do not merely support one individual student. We send a message to an entire year group: that it matters to take responsibility, show consideration for others, and strengthen the sense of community.

See press coverage.

The initiative is intended to continue and to be extended to additional upper-secondary schools.

Previously supported areas

Previous areas of support have included development assistance, for example the projects Drinking Water for Kitogani, Zanzibar and Supporting the Schooling of Vulnerable Children in Sri Lanka, as well as the End Polio Now initiative.

The Mathematics of Doing Good

Most donations are spent once. We choose a different path. By applying the principle of compounded interest, we ensure that even the smallest contribution grows into a significant force for change over time.

As our illustration shows: doing nothing results in nothing, but a consistent 1% effort—or investment—multiplies the outcome nearly 38 times in just one year. We don’t just spend your donation; we invest it to create a perpetual cycle of funding for innovation and global development.
