District 5950 of Rotary International is a group of 60 Rotary Clubs located in Central and Southwestern Minnesota. These clubs represent 41 Minnesota communities ranging in size from Minneapolis to Springfield. Our District is one of 529 Districts in 166 countries throughout the world and totaling 1,200,000 Rotarians in more than 31,000 local Rotary Clubs.

The first Rotary Club in District 5950 was established in Minneapolis in February 1910, the ninth club in Rotary International. District 5950 is home to more than 3,100 Rotarians, who are business and professional men and women living or working in their respective communities. We welcome you to our website and hope that you will enjoy learning more about the work of our Rotarians in District 5950 clubs and in Rotary International.
