Foundation giving programs
Your financial support can help support worldwide efforts to eradicate polio, promote peace, improve developing communities, and more. There are a number of ways you can designate your support. The primary avenues are:
• Annual Fund/Share (which is ultimately the source for District Grants and Scholarships)
• Endowment Fund
• Polio Plus
More information about each is provided below, as well information about the various Recognition Levels of Rotary Giving
Annual Fund/SHARE – Every Rotarian Every Year
One-half of the contributions to Annual Fund/SHARE are returned to the district in three years. These funds are called District Designated Funds. Our Grant programs such as Scholarships, District Grants and Global Grants come from our Annual Fund/SHARE giving.
Every Rotarian Every Year is a campaign of The Annual Fund. It promotes Rotarians making a contribution of any amount to the Annual Fund/Share each year. The Annual Fund is the first step in fueling the Rotary engine funding our programs. Contact your Club Secretary or President for information on your club’s giving. You can access records for your personal giving through My Rotary.
Sustaining members are Rotarians that give $100/year to The Rotary Foundation through The Annual Fund/SHARE.
Paul Harris Fellow Awards are given when a Rotarian’s lifetime contributions to The Rotary Foundation accumulate to $1,000. Rotarians often make family members and other individuals Paul Harris Fellows by donating in their name or transferring points (accrued through their own giving).
