Our hope is that Every Rotarian will donate $100 or more Every Year. Checks for either the Annual Fund or PolioPlus Fund should be made payable to: Rotary Foundation. Indicate your fund preference (Annual or PolioPlus) in the Memo section of the check. On-line contributions can be made by going to: Member Access (the Member Access link will take you to the appropriate section of the www.rotary.org website).
An Annual Fund donation of $100 goes into a SHARE system and is invested for 3 yrs. The earnings from investments go towards administrative costs. After 3 yrs. 50% of the funds remain in the World Fund for Foundation Programs. The other 50% flows back to the Club's District Designated Fund, where it can be used for programs and matching grants as determined by the local district.

Rotarians are also committed towards the Eradication of Polio, and are striving to meet the $200 Million Challenge Grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation through donations to the PolioPlus Fund.
