The Centurion Club has long been a part of the Rotary Club of Berwick’s giving program to the Rotary Foundation. For $100 per year you too can be part of this global world. Our all-time club giving comes to an impressive $340,021. Currently we have 34 Rotarian donors. 14 of those donate directly with Rotary International. If you haven’t contributed for some time, now is the time to get back on board.
Giving works because Rotary works. We are proud that 90.8 percent of donations go straight to supporting our service projects. Our 35,000 clubs carry out sustainable humanitarian service projects. Using donations like yours, we’ve wiped out 99 percent of all polio cases. Your donations train future peacemakers, support clean water, and strengthen local economies.
There are two ways of giving, which are:
- Log in at https://my.rotary.org/en/. Enrol in Rotary’s recurring giving program, Rotary Direct, which makes giving easy, fast, and secure. You can schedule a monthly, quarterly, or annual donation that empowers Rotarians to change lives in communities around the world
- The other is via the district. Fill out the form that can be downloaded from: https://rotary9820.org.au/documents/en-ca/700d9626-450b-406b-b5d0-d2ffc3f73904/1 and return the completed form to PP Mark Caulfield. It will then be forwarded to PDG Charlie Spiers, the District Foundation Chair to process the donation
Money that is donated is available (and multiplied) to come back to us via Global and District Grants. Recent examples of these grants include the provision of Blaze Aid trailers and the COVID-19 ventilators and beds for Intensive Care in New Jersey.
This is our own charity so it is well worth supporting.
