RAISE FOR ROTARY UNVEILS ENHANCEMENTS Raise for Rotary, The Rotary Foundation’s peer-to-peer fundraising tool, is marking the completion of its second year by unveiling new enhancements, including the ability for clubs to earn credit for donations made by nonmembers. Over the past two years, we have been working to enhance Raise for Rotary, in response to user feedback. The site's latest update allows clubs to earn credit for donations made by nonmembers. This enhancement recognizes fundraiser organizers for their hard work and encourages them to reach out beyond their Rotary networks for support.
Members, participants, and anyone else can use Raise for Rotary to support The Rotary Foundation by creating fundraisers that celebrate birthdays and anniversaries, spotlight athletic challenges, and commemorate events like World Polio Day. It's mobile-friendly, so it's easy to post fundraisers and updates on social media and to expand support for a favorite Rotary cause. Another new feature allows organizers to download a unique QR code linked to their fundraiser to include on promotional materials and to display at events.
Since the launch of Raise for Rotary in August 2020, more than 1,500 custom fundraisers have generated more than $1 million for the World Fund, the PolioPlus Fund, the Disaster Response Fund, and Rotary's areas of focus.
Raise for Rotary is available worldwide in English and accepts U.S., Australian, and Canadian currencies. Additional currencies and language options will be added over time.
