I support Rotary because it’s a responsible way to both give back to my local community and to help others around the world. I’m confident my money is spent judiciously and in a manner that is most appropriate for the work to be done.
— Emily Borland, Rotarian since 2008
The 50/50 Campaign is an exciting initiative that equally supports the San Francisco Rotary Foundation and The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International.Giving Example: If you give $1,000, then $500 supports the San Francisco Rotary Foundation and $500 supports The Rotary Foundation.
An annual gift to this campaign provides an opportunity to support our local and global community. This joint campaign harnesses our club’s unbeatable “can-do” spirit to raise funds to help neighbors near and far. The campaign supports existing club projects, such as The ARC, RYLA, and Alliance for Smiles and existing Rotary International projects, including eradicating Polio, providing clean water and sanitation, and supporting the environment. Supporting the 50/50 campaign will have a lasting impact on local and global projects!
I'm in an environment making new friendships while being of service to my local community and beyond.
— Irena Matijas, Rotarian since 2019

Some of the funds donated to The Rotary Foundation will come back to our club in three years.
A variety of payment options is available including check, one-time credit card, or automatic recurring credit card transactions. We can also accept donations of stock, including direct donations from IRAs.
