Beyond Visibility. Building Good That Lasts.

RPIC with a Heart Award

The most meaningful public image initiatives do more than increase awareness—they improve lives. RPIC with a Heart recognises projects that successfully combine Rotary visibility with practical, measurable service to the community. Whether through safety infrastructure, educational support, community facilities, environmental improvements, or innovative public service solutions, these initiatives demonstrate how public image can become a force for lasting good.

This award celebrates clubs and districts that have creatively integrated Rotary’s identity into projects that deliver real humanitarian value. Beyond showcasing Rotary’s presence, outstanding entries strengthen communities, encourage public engagement, and provide sustainable benefits that continue long after the project is launched. They represent Public Image at its finest—where visibility becomes service, and service helps communities Unite for Good.

What we’re looking for:

  • Humanitarian Utility – Initiatives that provide clear and practical benefits to the community beyond brand visibility.
  • Creative Integration – Effective incorporation of Rotary’s public image, branding, or messaging into the service being provided.
  • Community Engagement – Evidence that the initiative directly involves, serves, or benefits community members in a meaningful and sustainable way.
  • Public Image Excellence – Professional presentation, quality execution, durability, and strong representation of Rotary’s values.
