SEATTLE ROTARY ONLINE

Seattle Rotary Online is a significant marketing opportunity that is available to organizations that wish to help co-sponsor it. Intended as a library where you can just pull a speaker’s presentation off the shelf, Seattle Rotary Online is available to companies or other organizations that wish broader awareness within the club or community.
 
Sponsorships are available for as little as $500. Please contact Seattle 4 Rotarian, David Endicott by email or at 206-409-3275.

Two gifts...
We change the world

When we joined The Rotary Club of Seattle we all made a commitment to financially support the great work of our club and Rotary International.   We try to keep this as simple as possible.  Once a year we ask you to make two donations.  One is to the Seattle Rotary Service Foundation (SRSF).  The other is to The Rotary Foundation (TRF).

201 19th Ave
 
Each year the Rotary Community Service Committee, in conjunction with the Rotary Boys & Girls Club, creates a wonderful opportunity for all Rotarians (and friends/families) to take a deserving, less-fortunate child on a holiday shopping outing. All of the children are from the Rotary Boys & Girls Club and are selected for the program on the basis of need.
Help us support Rotary First Harvest - a program of Rotary District 5030 - through BECU's "People Helping People Awards." 
 
BECU received over 230 nominations this year and have selected 18 finalists, Rotary First Harvest being one of those 18!
 
From November 3-17 vote for your favorite organization to win the ‘People’s Choice Award.’ Please consider voting for Rotary First Harvest! Rotary First Harvest connects farmers, truckers, volunteers and foodbanks to reduce hunger and food waste. More than half those served by hunger relief programs in Washington are either children or seniors.

SEATTLE ROTARY SERVICE FOUNDATION OPPORTUNITY GRANTS

The Seattle Rotary Service Foundation (SRSF) has announced a new pilot program called “Opportunity Grants”.  SRSF is trying to be responsive to the preferences of our member donors and the needs of our community, recognizing that sometimes our usual structure of annual grants does not make funds available when special opportunities, emergencies, and unique needs arise.
 
All applications must be received by SRSF by December 1, 2017.
