November is Rotary Foundation Month . . .  a good time to review your commitment to The Rotary Foundation! The best way to give is by using Rotary Direct, online giving through My Rotary. Please take a few moments to consider a donation through My Rotary, or if you already donate through My Rotary to increase your donation. The Rotary Foundation is among the highest rated non-profits in the world, so you can be sure that money you donate is spent on doing good in your community and the world!

To make a new donation or to increase your donation amount for Rotary Foundation Month, follow these steps:

1. Login to My Rotary
2. At the top right click My Account.
3. Click My Donations on the drop-down menu.
4. Scroll down to Active recurring donations.
5. If you are already donating, click on Edit for the fund you wish to increase and follow the directions.
6. If you are donating for the first time online, click on Add a New Recurring Donation and follow the directions.
7. Rotary will notify and Thank You for the donation.

For recurring donations, Rotary will always send a “Thank You” email when they collect the donation at your designated frequency (monthly, quarterly, yearly).
A Rotarian is never required to donate! However. Rotarians who have adequate financial means are expected to support The Rotary Foundation (TRF) . . . the financial engine that supports our local and global projects!

If you are new to giving to TRF, consider a recurring donation of $10 per month to the Annual Fund and becoming a Sustaining Donor ($100/yr or greater). If you already give at this level, consider increasing your amount now with an eventual goal of $100/month to become a Paul Harris Society Member ($1000/yr or greater).

Whatever your donation level, thank you for everything you do for Rotary and The Rotary Foundation!
