Rotary International
Public records raise at least one point you should look into before giving.
What it says it does
The main objective of Rotary is service - in the community, the workplace, and throughout the world. Rotarians foster and encourage the ideal of 'Service above Self' through volunteering in communities at home and abroad to support education and job training, provide clean water, combat hunger, improve health and sanitation, and eradicate polio.

Financial health
We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Governance
This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.
