Rotary Foundation

The Rotary Foundation transforms your gifts into service projects that change lives both close to home and around the world.

Make a donation today

Since it was founded more than 100 years ago, the Foundation has spent more than $4 billion on life-changing, sustainable projects.

With your help, we can make lives better in your community and around the world.

Our mission

The Rotary Foundation helps Rotary members to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace by improving health, providing quality education, improving the environment, and alleviating poverty.

New Zealand Rotary Clubs Charitable Trust (NZRCCT)

NZRCCT manages all NZ donations to the Rotary Foundation and has Schedule 32  status allowing donations to be remitted offshore.   The NZRCCT issues NZ tax deductible receipts.  Donations can be made directly to the NZRCCT or more commonly through your district foundation committee.   

The trustee for the NZRCCT is the Perpetual Guardian with the Governor Train from all 5 NZ Districts making up the advisory trustees.  The current chair is DGE Jocelyn Hogg from D9940.

Only donations to the Rotary Foundation through NZRCCT are eligible for tax receipts.   Donations directly to the Rotary Foundation will not receive a receipt suitable for NZ tax purposes.


Key Resources

Please note that some of the forms below are Australian or US forms.  We are working on updating these.  Any credit card payments need to be made using the Make a donation today  button above (in order to receive a NZ tax receipt). Other payments are to be made to your District Foundation Committee.
