Because you’re a leader in Rotary, we want you to know about some changes coming to Raise for Rotary, The Rotary Foundation’s peer-to-peer fundraising tool. Since August 2020, Rotary members and our supporters have created more than 4,000 fundraising events to celebrate birthdays, athletic challenges, and other occasions. These fundraisers have generated over US$3.5 million for the PolioPlus Fund, World Fund, Disaster Response Fund, and areas of focus.
Now, Raise for Rotary is celebrating its sixth anniversary with some exciting updates:
Now, Raise for Rotary is celebrating its sixth anniversary with some exciting updates:
- It’s migrating to a new platform and has an updated logo.
- Users can now download a donation report from their fundraising pages to more easily track who donated and when.
- If users are fundraising for PolioPlus through physical activity, they can now track their activities on the exercise app Strava to share their progress with more people.
The features and benefits that have made Raise for Rotary successful aren’t changing:
It’s simple to use and share. Setting up a fundraising page is fast. Users can support specific Rotary causes and easily share their pages with others — especially on social media.
Donors can get recognition credit. Anyone who gives using the 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 people raise go directly toward Doing Good in the World.

Thank you for your dedicated leadership and support of The Rotary Foundation! No matter how members choose to fundraise, the donations we generate will help our Foundation make an even bigger impact around the world.
Sincerely,
The Rotary Foundation
