About Us

Rotary Action Group for Diabetes (RAGD) aims to address the Global Diabetes Epidemic by raising awareness to the humanitarian eyes, hearts and minds of 1.4 million members of Rotary International and other individuals and organizations who would like to join our efforts.  And to inspire, provide guidance, promote, assist and support Rotary Humanitarian Projects that address our Areas of Focus.

RAGD is organized exclusively for charitable, religious, educational, and scientific purposes, including, for such purposes, the making of distributions to organizations that qualify as exempt organizations under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, or the corresponding section of any future federal tax code.

RAGD is organized and approved according to Rotary International policy but not an activity or agency of, or controlled by Rotary International.
