Every Rotarian Every Year

Every Rotarian is encouraged to make a personal gift to the Annual Fund and participate in a Foundation grant or programme every year. The Annual Fund is the primary source of funds for TRF activities. Contributions help Rotarians carry out a broad range of local and international projects making their communities better.

Every year clubs that achieve outstanding giving in EREY, ie, a minimum Annual Fund contribution of $100 per capita, with every dues-paying member giving at least $25 to the Annual Fund are awarded with 100% Every Rotarian, Every Year club banner. Help your club achieve this banner in the current Rotary year.

Major Donor recognition

TRF recognises ­individuals or couples whose ­combined giving has reached $10,000 regardless of the gift designation. This level can be achieved only through personal contribution and not through recognition points. Major Donors may opt to receive a crystal ­recognition piece and pin(s) commemorating the gift at each new recognition level. Level ranges: Level-1: $10,000 to $24,999; Level-2: $25,000 to $49,999; Level-3: $50,000 to $99,999; Level-4: $100,000 to $249,999

Crystal engraving instruction:

Donors may include their spouse name too on Major Donor crystal. The Major Donor Recognition name can be written as (for example) John and Jane Smith or Jane and John R Smith or John Smith and Jane Green
