You can honor a loved one in a meaningful way with a contribution to The Rotary Foundation that helps sustain our efforts around the world. 
 
The easiest way is to start at rotary.org/donate and select the option to make a donation in honor or in memory of someone. You can contribute to the Annual Fund-SHARE, the World Fund, the Endowment, PolioPlus, the Disaster Response Fund, a specific area of focus or a global grant.
 
As the donor, you’ll receive gift credit and a tax receipt (where applicable). The person you’re honoring or their family can be notified of your gift by email, or you can choose to print a notification and deliver it yourself.
 
Consider making a gift to the Foundation today to honor someone you love.
