Local and Global Community Impact
“The Rotary Club of Toronto Charitable Foundation has donated $50,000 to the IWIP program to help us achieve the expansion we have envisioned so that we can reach even more women and improve their cultural, social and professional lives. Rotary’s funding will allow us to invest in virtual and distance learning technologies, bringing the program to any Toronto immigrant woman through virtual computer access. The expansion of IWIP will mean that we can reach more newcomer women who may be living in isolation than we have before.”

Executive Director, Toronto Centre for Community Learning & Development
“We are so grateful for the legacy of support from The Rotary Club of Toronto. The third generation Rotary Club of Toronto Health Bus allows us to expand our services and provides accessible and equitable health care directly to some of the most marginalized people in our city. This has a profound impact on the health and lives of many Torontonians.”

“The Rotary Club of Toronto Charitable Foundation has committed to donating $351,000 to the Toronto Ride Program (led by SPRINT Senior Care) over five years to replace the aging vehicles in our fleet. This generous donation will allow Toronto Ride to maintain its commitment to providing 189,000 safe, reliable rides to over 4,000 clients per year throughout Toronto, reducing isolation amongst seniors and adults with disabilities, enabling them to live independently.”
