Raise for Rotary is The Rotary Foundation's peer-to-peer fundraising platform.
Members, donors, and participants use it to create fundraisers for birthdays, athletic challenges, and events like World Polio Day. You can quickly post fundraisers and updates on social media to raise awareness about your favorite Rotary cause.
The platform is available worldwide in English and accepts US, Canadian, and Australian dollars, with more language and currency options in the works. Contributions from members are credited to them and contributions from nonmembers are credited to the organizer's club.
Since Raise for Rotary was launched in 2020, more than 2000 events have generated more than $1.5 million for the World Fund, PolioPlus, the Disaster Response Fund, and Rotary's areas of focus.

RotaryConnections:Participant Interaction and FUN!
Come interact with fellow Rotarians about:
Rotary Basics Community Service Ideas
Leadership Styles Rotary’s Impact Worldwide
Ethics & Vocation Engaging Members
Rotary Connections is sometimes referred to as Rotary’s “College of Knowledge.” Rotary Connections touches on “everything Rotary”. Rotary Connections is made up of three one-day Sessions to give you an overview of what Rotary is and what it does worldwide. Its goal is to create ENTHUSIASM for Rotary and show the enormous potential of Rotary service and how with knowledge and excellent leadership in Clubs, the world will benefit.
As Rotarians, we are regularly exposed to opportunities to support various causes with our time, talent and treasure. Sometimes it is hard to sift through all the information and decide where we are going to use our available financial resources.
It would be wonderful if every Mesa West Rotarian would make the following BIG FOUR their Rotary charities of choice and support every one of them every year, we could make a bigger difference than we are making today.
