2 Rotarian Action Group for Peace: PeaceHUB map
Mission: Serve as a resource to Rotarians, Rotary clubs, and districts by supporting the peace work of Rotarians worldwide. The Rotarian Action Group for Peace, a very active group of Rotarians dedicated to supporting the peace work of Rotary and Rotarians worldwide has been making tremendous strides this year. They are a great resource for Rotarians, Clubs, and Districts who are interested in the field of PCPR. The Rotarian Action Group for Peace has developed an interactive map of Rotary peace resources called the PeaceHub. This tool maps Rotarians working on peace projects, rotary peace fellows, nonprofit organizations working in the field of peace and conflict resolution, and educational institutions offering degrees/trainings in fields of peace and conflict resolution.

The Rotary Centers Major Gift Initiative shares the stage with PolioPlus as one of TRF’s highest priorities. Unlike PolioPlus, which is a broad-based initiative, the Rotary Peace Centers Initiative emphasizes gifts of US$50,000 or more. The Rotary Foundation Trustees, at their October 2014 meeting, increased the Rotary Peace Centers Major Gifts Initiative goal to $150 million by 30 June 2017 to build a permanent endowment for the program.  The goal increase is based upon a financial analysis of the program elements adopted in the Rotary Peace Center Strategic Plan. Both endowed and term gift naming opportunities are available.  The goal primarily underwrites the Rotary Peace Fellows, including tuition, transportation, housing, and other related educational expenses. It also covers program operations, including modest stipends for the universities and activities such the Rotary Peace Symposia. The focus of the Rotary Peace Centers Major Gifts Initiative is endowed gifts, but it is expected that about 10 percent of the gifts that come in will be term (immediately expended) gifts to help with the ongoing expenses of running the program. About 3,500 individuals from throughout the world have contributed about 5,900 gifts and commitments to The Rotary Centers.
