Today marks Rotary's 119th anniversary! If you want to honour our global Rotary history and help us do more good in the world, please consider giving to the Rotary Foundation or the Rotary Club of Halifax Charitable Trust. A donation to either is tax deductible. But what is the difference between the two?
Supporting the Rotary Foundation:
Contributing to the Rotary Foundation means supporting one of the world's most esteemed charities. Your donation can support a variety of funds and initiatives, including endowments, with each contribution being tax-deductible in Canada. Depending on your chosen fund, your donation may be invested for three years before it's used, or it may immediately support specific causes. Funds are allocated through a grant application process, including District grants which utilize donations from district members after three years. For select funds, donors receive Paul Harris Recognition points, where each US dollar donated equals one point. Accumulating 1000 points grants the donor the title of a Paul Harris Fellow, with further recognition levels available for higher or more frequent contributions. For more information or to make a donation, visit Rotary Foundation.
