Bank Transfers and Cheques
When making your gift by bank transfer, it is very important that you let us know of the transaction. Without this, we cannot attribute the gift to you or send you a receipt. For details, please see our Bank Transfer Instructions.
Cheques should be sent to:

Bequests
The Foundation offers several ways to structure your charitable gift that may provide tax and other financial benefits, including estate gifts, charitable gift annuities, and trusts.
Named gift
With an endowed or term gift, you can designate a specific name for your contribution. Endowed gifts are invested in perpetuity, while a portion of their earnings is spent on a designated program. Term gifts are spent in their entirety on a specific program over an agreed period of time.
Personal property
The Rotary Foundation accepts gifts of tangible property, such as jewellery or artwork, with the approval of the Gift Acceptance Committee. At this time, gifts of automobiles, boats, airplanes, and motorcycles are not accepted by the Foundation.
See The Rotary Foundation’s Gift Acceptance Policy for a complete list of criteria along with the required documents and information, or contact us to learn more.
