THE FOUR-WAY TESTof the things we think, say or do

A Rotarian’s simple, four-part ethical guideline, in the 1930’s, helped him rescue a beleaguered business.

The principles became an ethical compass embraced by Rotary International in 1943.

Today, the Four-Way Test stands as one of the organization’s hallmarks.


1. Is it the TRUTH?

2. Is it FAIR to all concerned?

3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?

4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?


Is it sophisticated enough to guide business and professional men and women

in these fast-paced times?

Is it the TRUTH?

There is a timelessness in truth that is unchangeable. Truth cannot exist without justice.


Is it FAIR to all concerned?

The substitution of fairness for the harsh principles of doing business at arm’s length has improved rather than hurt business relationships.


Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?

Man is by nature a cooperative creature and it is his natural instinct to express love.


Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?

This question eliminates the dog-eat-dog principle of ruthless competition and substitutes the idea of constructive and creative competition.


Is it sophisticated enough to guide business and professional men and women in these fast-paced times?

The Four-Way Test is international, transcending national boundaries and language barriers. It knows no politics, dogma or creed. More than a code of ethics, it has all the ingredients for a successful life in every way. It can and will work in today’s society.

The Rotary Foundation

(TRF)The mission of TRF is to enable Rotarians to

advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace

through the improvement of health,

the support of education,

and the alleviation of poverty.


The Foundation's programs are funded through dues and voluntary contributions from Rotarians and others who believe in its mission.

Contributions are transformed into programs distributed worldwide through the SHARE system.


Annually,

50% of each district's (includes individual’s &

club’s) donations to the Annual Programs Fund are credited to their District Designated Fund (DDF)

Districts use their DDF to fund the Foundation programs they (including local clubs) participate in


Annually,

the other 50 % is credited to the World Fund

The Foundation uses the World Fund to pay for the worldwide programs available to all Rotary districts, regardless of their specific contributions


Since 1947, Rotarians have contributed almost

US $2.7 billionto The Rotary Foundation

to help Rotary do good in the world.

Annual dues from 1.2 million members worldwide help finance Rotary programs.

The Rotary FoundationFunding cycle

The Rotary Foundation has a unique funding cycle that uses donations for programs three years after they’re received

The three-year cycle gives districts time for planning and provides for the Foundation’s operational costs to come, primarily, from the interest earned from contribution investments

Polio PlusRotary Foundation’s largest single charitable effort to date.

The bold initiative– to rid the world of polio –began in 1985.

With Rotary funding and the help of other

International Organizations it is

happening!
