Join Service Organizations

Service organizations share our commitment to making the world a better place for children everywhere. Whether members are helping to raise money or volunteer their time and talents, their partnership with Operation Smile is helping to heal children’s smiles and transform lives.

General Federation of Women's Clubs

The General Federation of Women's Clubs (GFWC), one of the world's largest women's volunteer service organizations, has supported Operation Smile for more than 20 years. They've raised money for missions and donated handmade quilts, blankets, hospital gowns, smile bags, and collected personal hygiene products and toys.

They've also donated their talents; many GFWC members, as medical professionals, have accompanied us on medical missions, filling vital roles to help repair children's facial deformities. During our long partnership, they have raised more than $1 million through their Outreach for Children program to benefit Operation Smile.

Operation Smile thanks all GFWC members for their ongoing support and for recognizing that every child deserves the chance to smile.

Rotary International

Rotary International is one of the largest service organizations in the world. Over the years, Rotarians around the world have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to support our medical missions. Operation Smile depends on these donations to help more children live happier, healthier lives. One of the ways in which clubs have contributed significant financial support is through the Rotary Foundation's Humanitarian Grants Program.

Operation Smile received its first matching grant in 1991 for its international mission to Panama. Since then, Rotarians partnering with Operation Smile have successfully organized matching grants to assist children in Bolivia, Brazil, Columbia, Ecuador, Honduras, India, Jordan, Kenya, Mexico, Morocco, Nicaragua, Peru, the Philippines, Romania, Thailand and Venezuela.

Rotarians have not only provided monetary contributions. Local Rotarian volunteers in our partner countries have actively participated during our medical missions as interpreters, unpacking cargo and by lending a helping hand wherever they can.

Operation Smile would like to extend its deepest appreciation to all the Rotarians for your financial support and for the thousands of hours of volunteer time you have given to help children in need.
