Starting on Saturday, August 1 and running through 5 pm on Saturday, October 31, District 5870 will match contributions to the Rotary Annual Fund as follows:
Using Rotary Foundation Recognition Points, the District will match your $250 to $500 cash contribution to the Annual Fund-SHARE on a 1-to-1 basis for any active Rotarian in District 5870 who is not yet a Paul Harris Fellow +8.
Here’s how it works:
1. Before making an eligible contribution, please contact Rich Kaye via email at richkaye@hot.rr.com and let him know how much you intend to contribute.
2. Send your contribution directly to TRF using either The Rotary Foundation Contribution Form (123-en) or going on-line at my.rotary.org/en/donate.
Please note: If you are going to donate on-line, be sure to sign into My Rotary before doing so. Once the contribution appears on your record, the District will submit the match.
There are a few exceptions. Please note that this program will not match:
1. Contributions from anyone whose current Recognition Amount is $8,501 or more at the time the contribution is made.
2. More than it actually takes to achieve PHF+8 status. For instance, if you have already contributed $8,500 to date, and now elect to contribute $300 more, we will only match the first $200 so that you achieve PHF+8.
3. Contributions made to any fund other than the Annual Fund-Share (i.e. PolioPlus, Disaster Response, Endowment Fund, Rotary Peace Centers, and Global Grants).
4. Foundation Recognition Point transfers.
If you have any questions about the process, contact Rich Kaye or Club Foundation Chair Frank Ivy.
