What is a Centurion?
A Centurion is a Rotarian or other individual who commits to contributes at least AUD100 every financial year to approved funds in The Rotary Foundation on an ongoing basis. Any contribution of less than AUD100 in a single financial year will lapse their Centurion Status. Centurion program is managed at district level. All contributions for Centurion needs to be sent to the district Fund Fundraising Chair for ongoing recognition. The AU$100 can be made up of any contributions to Annual and Polio Funds collectively in a single Rotary year.
What is a Sustaining Member?
A Sustaining member is a Rotarian or other who contributes at least USD100 every financial year to The Rotary Foundation on an ongoing basis. Any contribution of less than USD100 in a single financial year will lapse their Sustaining Member Status. Sustaining membership is tracked by Parramatta and RI, but contributions need to go via district Fundraising Chair. The Rotary Exchange rate is used for each contribution which is fixed for the calendar month when submitted to Parramatta.
Which Foundation Funds qualify for Centurion or Sustaining Member status?
Only some Foundation funds qualify. These are:
Annual Share fund; 100% of contribution is invested for 3 years. After 3 years 50% of contribution comes back to our district for District 9780 use such as grants and other programs as DDF. Polio Plus: 100% goes to Polio programs.
If I am a new Centurion, how do I get my badge and certificate?
Ensure this form is completed correctly then send to District Fundraising Chair. If you “check” New Centurion , a Centurion Badge and Certificate will be forwarded. Parramatta does not issue badges & certificates.
Can you be a Centurion and a Sustaining Member?
YES; as long as the individuals contribution exceeds the stipulated requirement for a contribution to each. At the present USD100 is more than AUD100 so being a sustaining member automatically qualifies a contributor to be a Centurion.
