This Foundation is a leader in supporting the Rotary Foundation of Rotary International through raising funds with its 20 year old Hamden Rotary Convention Tours. For example, the Hamden Foundation gave the RI Polio Plus campaign $100,000, which was the highest per capita gift of any Club in the world. Rotarians attending these tours provide support to Rotary projects all over the world at no additional cost to themselves as the middleman profit from the tours instead goes to the projects of Rotary.
