Have you told your members about Raise for Rotary? Since being made available six years ago in August 2020, Rotarians and our supporters have created more than 4,000 fundraising events to celebrate birthdays, athletic challenges, and other occasions. These have generated over $3.5 million for the PolioPlus Fund, World Fund, Disaster Response Fund, and areas of focus.

In celebration of this anniversary, Raise for Rotary has made some updates:

• It’s migrating to a new platform and has an updated logo.
• You can now download a donation report from your fundraising page to more easily track who donated and when.
• If you’re fundraising for PolioPlus through physical activity, you can now track your activities on the exercise app Strava to share your progress with more people.

Key points to share with your members as a Rotary minute, weekly program, or announcement at a district event:

It’s simple to use and share. Setting up a fundraising page is fast. You can support specific Rotary causes and easily share your fundraiser with others — especially on social media.

Donors can get recognition credit. Anyone who gives using the same email address they use for Rotary functions such as My Rotary will receive all applicable Rotary giving credit and recognition.

An organizer’s club is credited with donations from nonmembers. This recognizes the work of organizers and encourages them to seek support beyond their Rotary networks.

Lower fees mean we can do more. With our own platform, we have more flexibility and more of the funds you raise go directly toward Doing Good in the World.
