Giving - The Centurion Club

The Centurion Club

 

The Centurion Club is a convenient and personal way of supporting The Rotary Foundation by way of donating A$100 per year (or more if you so wish), for as long as you are in a position to do so. This is an opportunity for Rotarians and others to support the humanitarian work of the Rotary Foundation in alleviating abject poverty, educating the illiterate and relieving the scourge of disease.

 

Your annual donation (from only $1.92 per week and tax deductible) is paid to the Australian Rotary Foundation Trust and is used to finance the work of the Rotary Foundation. Fifty percent of the money you donate comes back to District 9810 after 3 years.

 

Membership is renewable during November (Foundation Month) each year. Annual reminders are sent out and, while we very much appreciate renewals, there is no pressure to carry on if personal financial circumstances have changed.

 

Joining is easy. Commitment forms are available from the Centurion Club Co-coordinator, your Foundation club representative or can be downloaded here: Centurion Commitment Form

 

The instructions for mailing are indicated on the form itself.

 

Centurions can also renew their commitment using this Centurion Form. Please indicate that you are a renewing member, not a joining member.

 

The Centurion Club is not only for Rotarians.  Anyone is eligible to join and it is not just for individuals - donations can be made on behalf of businesses or other bodies.

 

Centurion Club members receive a Badge and a Certificate of Membership. A tax receipt is sent to each subscriber by Rotary International South Pacific and Philippines Office.

 

Your personal donation will help communities and individuals in desperate need of our support. For example; A$100 will give sight to 2 people in India, partially furnish a classroom in Africa or provide mosquito nets for a Pacific Islands village.

 

The Centurion Club coordinator is Alan Newstead who can be contacted if you click on the email link at the foot of this page.

 

Alan is available to provide Clubs with information about the Centurion Club and, if required, to visit clubs and explain the importance and value of becoming a Centurion.
