Click here to donate online to The Rotary Foundation (TRF) of Rotary International.

Donating to The Rotary Foundation is a great opportunity for Rotarians to give back.  Consider making your annual donation NOW.  Your money comes back to us in three years in the form of Global and District grants to spend on our projects.  Your donation goes around the world to promote peace and conflict prevention & resolution, disease prevention and treatment, water and sanitation, maternal and child health, basic education and literacy, and economic and community development. Every Rotarian Every Year asks that you consider a gift of at least $100 to The Rotary Foundation.

If you have never given to TRF, Rotary 14 will match your first $100 to the Foundation, giving you $200 toward your Paul Harris Fellowship (cumulative giving of $1000).  If a member initially donates less than $100, Rotary 14 will make the match as soon as the $100 level is reached. For all other club members, the club will match any contribution above the $100 Sustaining Member level per Rotary year (minimum match is $100), but not to exceed $500.

You can also bring a check made out to The Rotary Foundation to our weekly meeting and Yolanda will send it with the contribution form to TRF. Any questions, please contact TRF Chair Scott Larson.
