With two gifts, we change the world.
Step 1: Make your gift to the Seattle Rotary Service Foundation (SRSF)
We ask all our members to make an annual gift of $400 or more to the Seattle Rotary Service Foundation ($150 for Young Rotary Leaders aka YRL). To join the Pinkham and Skeel Circle of Service, the minimum donation is $1,000. To join the President's Circle, the minimum donation is $2,500.

Please note that we require two separate checks: one payable to the Seattle Rotary Service Foundation and one payable to The Rotary Foundation.
Step 2: Make your annual gift to Rotary International (TRF)
We ask all our members to make an annual gift of $100 or more to The Rotary Foundation (TRF). To be a Paul Harris Fellow, the minimum or cumulative donation is $1,000. The more we give, the more of The Rotary Foundation matching funds will come back to Seattle service projects.
You may make your donation with a credit card directly to The Rotary Foundation (TRF) by calling 1-866-976-8279. They have wonderful customer service and a live representative is typically available with no wait time to assist you. If you prefer to donate online, click HERE for TRF's donation portal.

Donor-Advised Fund (DAF)
You can set up your own donor-advised fund (DAF) administered by any number of organizations, such as Schwab Charitable, Fidelity Charitable, or even a non-profit organization such as the Seattle Foundation. SRSF encourages Rotarians to contribute funds to help perpetuate not only the club's goals and projects but also the work of community non-profit organizations engaged in various avenues of Rotary service.
As you consider making a gift to a DAF or a private endowed fund, please keep in mind that the fund administrator may have specific criteria pertaining to their fund. Many of our members donate highly appreciated assets to a DAF to avoid the capital gains tax on the appreciated stock or other asset and then use donations from the DAF to support SRSF and other qualifying charities over a period of years. The donation receives its applicable tax deduction on the date the stock is transferred to the DAF.
