The Rotary Foundation transforms your gifts into service projects that change lives both close to home and around the world. Since it was founded more than 100 years ago, the Foundation has spent more than $4 billion on life-changing, sustainable projects. With your help, we can make lives better in your community and around the world.

Last year, as a club and district we embarked on a journey to encourage monthly automatic contributions to the Rotary Foundation through Rotary Direct. What a success! We had 31 Rotarians sign up!

Fourth Quarter focus - Rotary Direct “Ten for $10 dollars.” Our goal would be to gain ten additional Rotarians enrolled in the Rotary Foundation’s “Rotary Direct” program who agree to give $10 monthly using the electronic recurring donation program on “My Rotary.”

Why Rotary Direct?
Increased Giving: Network for Good’s data suggests that those who give through programs like Rotary Direct give 42% more than those who give one time gifts.

Donor Retention: On average, 25% of first-time donors give again the next year. Compare this to 90% of those who sign up for a recurring donation.

Ease of Giving: Rotary Direct enables donors to set up their giving once and not think about it again until their intentions to give or payment information changes. This makes reaching goals like Paul Harris Fellow and Paul Harris Society incredibly easy.

Budget Friendly: Many donors want to give a certain amount each year but giving $100 or $1,000 all at once is simply not an option.

Continuous Happiness: According to Bloomerang donor happiness is prolonged when donors give over the course of a year rather than all at once.

Many thanks to our current Rotary Direct donors – please consider joining us!
