DONATING TO THE ROTARY FOUNDATION:
The simplest way to make a donation to The Rotary Foundation is to participate in Rotary Direct. By doing this, you lessen the administrative burden on your Club Treasurer and can contribute on a recururring basis at the level you are comfortable with.
Go to rotary.org and login to your MyRotary account (if you don't have one,it's easy to do: just use the same e-mail address as you use for all Rotary communications and it will link to your Rotary Member number). When your name appears, use the pull down menu under your name in the top right and select My Donations This brings you to a page called Donor Self Service where you can set up a Recurring Donation.
On the same page you can also access your Donor Hisotry Report which lists every contribution you have ever made, any any contribution (or points transfer) that has been credited to your account.
If you sign up in September, a monthly recurring donation of $12 (commencing in October)will mean that you are a Sustaining Member by the end of this Rotary Year. If you want to make the target of $125 this year, set up a donation of $35. To earn a Paul Harris Fellow by the end of this Rotary Year, enter $112. By donating to the Annual Fund, 50% of your donation will come back to District 6840 in 3 years and will be used for District Grants.
No matter which amount you donate, you can be sure that 100% of your donation will be used to Do Good in the World. For 12 consecutive years, in recognition of its excellent stewardship, The Rotary Foundation has earned the highest 4-star ranking of Charity Navigator .
The Rotary District 6840 Foundation, working closely with DG Elizabeth Van Sant, activated our disaster response in advance of Hurricane Laura. Donations to the Rotary District 6840 Foundation Hurricane Laura Disaster Response Fund are now being accepted.
