Many have asked how we, as Rotarians, can support the good people of Ukraine during this most devastating time. Rotary International and District #7430 have sent out some helpful information. 

 

In response to the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine, the Rotary Foundation has made the Disaster Response Fund available as the official channel for contributions. All donations made online at [Disaster Response Fund | My Rotary] including the use of available district designated funds (DDF), need to be received by April 30, 2022 to qualify for use in support of the Ukrainian relief efforts. I made a donation today to see how it worked. It was very quick and efficient. Please make sure you have a My Rotary login before you begin in order to keep record of your donation. This will be the main avenue for Rotary Foundation support, but Rotary and Rotaract clubs are also encouraged to create their own responses to the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine.

In addition to the support provided through the Disaster Response Fund, the Foundation is coordinating with partners and regional leaders, exploring effective solutions to the increased humanitarian needs. You will find a
comprehensive list of projects at this link:  https://portal.clubrunner.ca/50077/Documents/en-ca/a65dd71d-a99b-4de6-8a1b-f5d19e85928e/1/

 

For those who prefer to gamble a little, rather than giving directly...

 

Yours in Rotary,
