February 2, 2026: February is a time to reflect on care, connection, and commitment: values that sit at the heart of Rotary.
Throughout the month, RCWO is promoting For the Love of Rotary: Foundation Fridays in February, inviting members to consider Rotary Direct as an easy and effective way to support The Rotary Foundation and PolioPlus. By participating in Foundation Fridays, members help sustain Rotary’s work across its causes - from peacebuilding and education to clean water, health, and the ongoing effort to end polio - while choosing a method of giving that is simple, reliable, and personal.
The Rotary Foundation is consistently recognized for strong stewardship and transparency. It has earned the highest possible rating (four stars) from Charity Navigator for more than 16 consecutive years, placing it among the top 1% of charities evaluated for financial health, accountability, and transparency.
Rotary Direct allows members to give weekly, monthly, or on another schedule that fits their circumstances. This approach helps ensure consistent support for Rotary’s global and local impact, while still allowing members to make one-time donations for specific projects or events. Members who give through Rotary Direct receive one consolidated tax receipt at the end of the year.
Members can enrol by visiting my.rotary.org/rotary-direct or by completing the paper form at a club meeting and returning it to Hadi, Susan, or Gord.
Together, let’s make February a month of steady support and lasting impact: for the love of Rotary.
