Donate
Your gift, multiplied — supporting projects that change lives in Ireland and around the world.
Every donation to Rotary supports practical, measurable change — projects led by Rotarians who know their communities and know what’s needed.
Your gift, multiplied
When you give through Rotary, your donation is amplified. The Rotary Foundation’s grant programmes match local giving with district and global funds, multiplying the impact of every euro and pound contributed.
Through Rotary, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation matches polio donations 2:1 — meaning every euro you give to PolioPlus becomes three.
Where your gift goes
- Annual Fund — supports Rotary Foundation grants worldwide, used three years from now when its impact is multiplied through SHARE matching.
- PolioPlus — direct support for the global campaign to eradicate polio.
- Disaster Response Fund — grants to communities facing natural disasters and humanitarian crises.
- Endowment Fund — long-term gifts that fund Rotary’s mission permanently.
- District 1160 priorities — local club projects across Ireland.
How to give
- Online — through My Rotary at rotary.org.
- By post — contact District 1160 for the postal donation form.
- In memoriam — dedicate a gift in memory of someone special.
- Major gifts and bequests — speak with our District Foundation Chair for tailored options.
Every gift becomes part of something larger.
Whether it’s €25 to your club’s Annual Fund total or a planned legacy gift to the Endowment, every contribution to The Rotary Foundation is matched, multiplied, and put to work in projects that change lives — in Ireland and worldwide.
