EVERY ROTARIAN, EVERY YEAR ROTARY FOUNDATION SUSTAINING MEMBER PROGRAM
“A Rotary Foundation Sustaining Member is a person who contributes US$100 or more per year to the Annual Fund. “ Trustee Decision: October 2002
EVERY ROTARIAN, EVERY YEAR: The Foundation’s Trustees seek annualunrestricted contributions ofUS$100 or more from every Rotarian, every year. The Rotary Foundation Sustaining Member [RFSM] program is the key to achieving Annual Programs Fund [APF] success: securing the future availability of the Foundation’s increasingly popular programs; restoring programs that have been scaled back; and distinguishing Rotary by climbing to even greater heights during our second century of service.
How does one become a Rotary Foundation Sustaining Member? An individual becomes a RFSM simply by contributing US$100 or more to the Annual Program Fund – Share as a one-time annual gift or cumulative gifts during the Rotary year. Contributions can be made directly to The Rotary Foundation by mail, online at Rotary’s website at or through your Rotary club. When you contribute, you help sustain the Foundation’s humanitarian, educational and cultural exchange programs. Only contributions to APF-SHARE are eligible for RFSM status.
