Our Impact
Creating Lasting Impact
Nothing enriches a community more than service, working together for the common good. Together, we support the youth of Minneapolis and foster international understanding and goodwill. Our members serve with their time, money, and expertise. If you seek enrichment through service, Club #9 has countless opportunities to serve your community.
Local Community Service Committee
The Rotary Club of Minneapolis seeks to be a trusted and influential partner that empowers a healthy and thriving community and environment. We support this vision and end goals that include, but are not limited to the following:
- Dramatically improved literacy rates
- Economic education that reduces wealth disparity
- All residents have access to adequate food and housing
Each year, we support grant and service opportunities related to these priorities via a grant request and submission process.

World Community Service Committee
We do our part locally, but how can we hope to make an impact worldwide when global problems are so overwhelming? By working in concert with Rotary International, our club can compound contributions to create significant grants.
Through partnerships and "matching grants" we are able to make significant contributions to international projects. Our local contributions are matched with funds from Rotary International and the District. For example, a $5,000 allocation from our committee can be matched dollar-for-dollar by the District. This $10,000 may then be eligible for an additional $7,500 from RI. So our original $5,000 grows to make a $17,500 project possible!

Unite for Good Campaign
In light of the challenges facing our city in early 2026 — specifically Operation Metro Surge, the federal immigration enforcement action— the Rotary Club of Minneapolis raised additional donations and the foundation committed $50,000 directly to provide urgent aid to the families and businesses upended. Funds focused on four critical areas: food security, housing stability, economic recovery, and legal aid.
