Annual Fund and SHARE
Annual Fund and SHARE
Your gift to the Annual Fund helps Rotary clubs take action today to create positive change in communities at home and around the world. Your contributions help us strengthen peace efforts, provide clean water and sanitation, support education, grow local economies, save mothers and children, protect the environment and fight disease.
The Every Rotarian Every Year initiative asks every Rotarian to support The Rotary Foundation every year. In addition to contributing to the Annual Fund on a regular basis, members are encouraged to get involved in a Foundation project or program.
Recurring giving (Rotary Direct)
The Annual Fund is the primary source of funding for all Foundation activities. Support our efforts year round by making a recurring gift. You choose how often and how much you want to give—it’s a simple and secure way to make a big impact.
A monthly, quarterly, or annual gift option is available for all online contributions. You can enroll at my.rotary.org/rotary-direct, return the completed Rotary Direct enrollment form or enroll by phone at +1-866-976-8279.
To update your existing recurring giving contributions, sign in to My Rotary and choose Profile to access Donor Self-Service. Alternatively, email rotarydirect@rotary.org or call +1-866-976-8279. For security reasons, changes to your credit card information should be made by yourself online or by phone. Please do not send changes by mail or email.
Support a specific cause
You can direct your Annual Fund contributions to SHARE, the World Fund, or one of Rotary’s areas of focus, and all contributions are spent wisely on quality Rotary projects.
Annual Fund contributions that are directed to the Foundation’s areas of focus are credited toward a club’s annual giving goal and per capital giving calculations. However, they are not included in a district’s SHARE calculation and do not increase the amount of your District Designated Fund.
