About Fm Rotary Foundation
FM Rotary Foundation’s recent giving is shaped by project funding that reaches from Fargo-Moorhead neighborhood spaces to schools and health projects abroad. One of its clearest patterns is support for large community builds, including $659,795 in 2025 and $513,706 in 2024 to the City of Moorhead for the Natural Playground. The foundation also backs Rotary-led international work through The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International, with $60,282 for General Support for International Projects in 2025 and $41,535 for Polio Plus in 2023. That mix shows a grantmaker working through local Rotary networks while also participating in wider Rotary priorities. Its portfolio also includes smaller, targeted grants tied to specific community needs. Fargo Moorhead AM Rotary Club received funding for Guatemala school construction, school supplies, and a mental hygiene project in Uganda, while Rotary Club of Pelican Rapids was funded for a new playground park. The foundation’s stated purpose centers on enabling local Rotarians to advance local, regional, and world-wide projects that focus on understanding, goodwill, and peace.

How Fm Rotary Foundation Gives
FM Rotary Foundation’s typical grant size sits at $12,065 at the 25th percentile, $27,906 at the median, and $55,595 at the 75th percentile. The recent record shows both very large project grants and smaller operating-style support, alongside restricted-purpose awards. The foundation appears to fund repeatedly through Rotary organizations and project sponsors rather than one-off competitive rounds: the City of Moorhead received grants in both 2024 and 2025 for the Natural Playground, and The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International appears multiple times across recent years. It is classified as a regular funder and does not fund individuals.
