Many Rotarians in our district are asking, “What can I do to help in the fight against COVID-19?” A donation to The Rotary Foundation’s Disaster Response Fund is one way. And District 5400 is committing $15,000 of its DDF (District Designated Funds) to match individual and club donations to this fund. This is a one-to-one match, and all Disaster Response Fund contributions back to July 1, 2019, are eligible.
Your cash contributions to the Disaster Response Fund receive Paul Harris Fellow, Paul Harris Society and Major Donor recognition, but they do not count toward your club’s Annual Fund goal. And while your contributions may not be directed to a specific disaster, the DDF we contribute alongside you can and will be assigned to COVID-19.
To claim the match, send a copy of your contribution form, a copy of your receipt from The Rotary Foundation or a copy of the transaction detail from your personal Donor History Report to District Rotary Foundation Chair Todd Fischer ( Sign In > Account Settings > Donor Self Service > Donor History Report > Transaction Detail).
