DONATING
  • For Annual Giving, our District recommends clubs' budget $125 per member per year from fundraising.
    • This is your CLUB'S contribution to making the world a better place
  • For Polio donations our district recommends that you budget $50 per member per year from fundraising.
    • This is your CLUB'S commitment to ridding the world from Polio. Remember every dollar you give gets matched 2:1 by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, so $1 = $3
  • Centurion Programme of at least $100 per person each year - equivalent to "Every Rotarian Every Year"
    • This is an INDIVIDUAL contribution by Rotarians or non-Rotarians.
    • This personal donation is tax-deductible and Centurions receive a Centurion certificate, badge and the satisfaction of knowing you personally made a difference to making the world a better place.
