Decades of international work has helped us define how to successfully carry-through with a project, from inception to completion. We use a ‘Champion’ system whereby a member of the Kitchener-Conestoga Rotary Club must personally represent a cause if it’s going to be considered at the International Aid Fund. This ensures that each project is managed in close alignment with the principles of Rotary. We apply a rigorous application process and work in-step with partners on the ground before a project is approved, and report throughly on a fixed-term timeline using measurable milestones. We take what we do seriously because so much is at stake for those in need of our support.

Supporting the future of our children through awards, scholarships and bursaries.

We achieve these goals, first and foremost, by publishing The Walrus, the most awarded magazine in Canada, named Magazine of the Year at the National Magazine Awards in June 2007. The Walrus is a monthly publication of ideas, sophistication, and wit, a place where readers, writers, and artists meet. It is supported by TheWalrus.ca, which offers both archives and original content, and by WalrusTV, which features exclusive documentaries inspired by stories from the magazine. In addition, the Walrus Foundation runs an intensive editorial, art, publishing, and foundation internship program for aspiring editors, writers, designers, and digital media, publishing, events, and non-profit development professionals. Through national events, the Walrus Foundation is committed to the public square, to celebrating Canadian talent, and to increasing participation in our democracy through spirited and intelligent debate—by lifting the magazine off the page and onto the stage in public forums.
