Rotarians Against Malaria-Global

What Rotarians Against Malaria-Global does

Rotarians Against Malaria-Global (RAM-Global) is a 501(c)(3) Rotary Action Group founded in 1995 and headquartered in Saint Augustine, USA. Its functional purpose is to mobilize the global Rotary network — approximately 1.2 million members across 35,000+ clubs — to eliminate malaria, with field operations spanning 15+ countries. The organization operates a tiered grant program (Small Grants at $1K, Standard Grants at $2.5K, and Global Grants ranging from $30K to $400K) and a portfolio of programmatic products including the Ambassador Program, Malaria Minutes newsletter, Resources & Education materials, the Membership Program, and the newly launched Malaria Impact Summit (Barcelona, 2027).

Its flagship operational platform is the Rotary Healthy Community Challenge (RHCC), a community-volunteer training and malaria-reduction model that has been rolled out to four countries and is expanding in 2026 to Papua New Guinea as its fifth country of operation, with a stated goal of training 2,100 community volunteers there. RAM-Global coordinates field implementation with a network of regional affiliates including RAM-Australia and RAM-Solomon Islands, and co-funds projects with Malaria Partners International, WHO, World Vision, Living Goods, Merck Global Health Institute, PAVON, and Fair Future Foundation.

The business model is donation- and grant-funded: membership is free, revenue is sourced from Rotary club contributions, individual Rotarian donations, and grants from The Rotary Foundation and institutional partners. The organization reported 11–50 employees and received the Rotary Service Above Self Award in 2022, signaling reputational standing within the Rotary ecosystem. In 2026 the organization deployed 33 World Malaria Day grants across 6 countries and activated a presence at the 2026 Rotary International Convention in Taipei (37,000+ attendees), reflecting continued programmatic scaling within a stable operational footprint.
