Raise for Rotary Celebrates Six Years with New Features
Rotary International’s peer‑to‑peer fundraising platform, Raise for Rotary, is marking its sixth anniversary — and it’s grown into a powerful tool for members around the world. Since its launch in 2020, supporters have created more than 4,000 fundraising events, raising over $3.5 million for key Rotary causes including PolioPlus, the World Fund, Disaster Response, and our areas of focus.
This year brings several exciting updates:
New platform and refreshed logo
Downloadable donor reports to help organizers track contributions
Strava integration for members fundraising through physical activity, making it easy to share progress and inspire others
What hasn’t changed are the features that make Raise for Rotary so effective:
Easy setup and sharing — Create a fundraising page in minutes and spread the word, especially on social media.
Donor recognition credit — Gifts made using a donor’s Rotary‑associated email address automatically count toward Rotary recognition.
Club credit for nonmember donations — Fundraisers organized by members help bring in support from outside Rotary, and clubs receive credit for those contributions.
Lower fees — More of every dollar raised goes directly toward Doing Good in the World.
