Benevolence and
Annuities
A history of helping those in need
RFBI was established in 1880 to help those in need and 142 years on, this remains an important philosophy behind RFBI’s work.
Over the last 10 years, RFBI has provided over $13 million to assist individuals and families in time of need through the provision of financial assistance, medical equipment, funding for research and funding for health programs, including Rotary’s Men’s Health Education Rural Van (MHERV).
