Donating to the Rotary International Annual Fund (RIAF)
 
Donations to the RIAF are handled through Rotary International. 
 
Here are the steps to do a one-time donation or schedule a recurring donation:
 
1.  You will need to create a My Rotary account.  As a Rotarian, creating an account tracks your donations for the Paul Harris Fellow and Paul Harris Society recognitions.  Even if you are not a Rotarian, you can still create an account to track your donations.  You can create your account here:  my.rotary.org/en/signup   Note: Please wait a couple of hours after creating your account before proceeding to the next step!  It takes a little time for your account to sync up properly.
 
2.  Once you've created your My Rotary account, visit Rotary's donation page here:  my.rotary.org/en/donate
 
3.  Choose a Featured Cause to donate to.  Featured Causes are eligible for Paul Harris recognition.  The Annual Fund-SHARE is the most common, since Rotary divides those donations between the World Fund and the District Designated Funds (which eventually come back to the club through District Grants).
 
4.  (Optional) If you want to make your donation in honor or in memory of someone, select that option and fill in the information below.
 
5.  (Optional) If you're properly signed in to My Rotary and you're an active Rotarian in a club, you should see an option that says "This donation is from my club or its members" (sometimes this takes a minute to show up as the page recognizes your account and syncs it).  If it's not showing up, scrolling up and down on the page seems to speed up the sync.  Choose this option if you want to donate money on behalf of your club or specific member(s) within your club.  Donations made on another club member's behalf give them credit towards Paul Harris credits!  If you leave this unchecked, Paul Harris credit will be given to you.
 
6.  In the Donation section, confirm your country, currency, and donation type (one-time or recurring).  If recurring, choose the frequency you want the donation to be made.  Lastly, select the amount you want to donate.
 
7.  Your personal information should already be filled in from your My Rotary profile but confirm your information or make any changes needed.
 
8.  Enter your credit card information in the Payment Details section.
 
9.  Lastly, you can review your donation before submitting it.  Once reviewed click Submit.
 
That's it!  Congratulations and THANK YOU for making your donation to Rotary International!  🙂
