Why donate? Being a Rotarian means that you support all things Rotary, including The Rotary Foundation. The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International has been rated by Charity Navigator for 17 years and receives 4 out of 4 stars. Our combined dollars helps Rotary members to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace by improving health, providing quality education, improving the environment, and alleviating poverty.
What is Paul Harris Fellow? When you collectively donate and/or receive matching points of $1000.00 you become a Paul Harris Fellow (PHF). Subsequent donations/points accumulating in increments of $1000 earns you a PHF+.
How much do I need to donate? You can open your PHF account with as little as $5 (matching starts at $100). If you donate at least $100 now through the last meeting in June, you receive 100 points. That gives you $200.00 toward your PHF. Donate $500 and you receive 500 points. Bang! There's your PHF.
What is EREY? EREY stands for Every Rotarian Every Year. Our goal is for each Rotarian to personally donate a minimum of $25.00 to The Rotary Foundation each year. Our overall fundraising goal is $100.00 per member. Even if you can't do the $100 for matching points, would you make the $25.00 EREY donation?
How do I pay? You can pay cash/check or credit at the next Rotary meetings. Or, you can pay using our online square payment site here.
