Guidelines for requesting assistance from the Murrumbidgee Canberra Rotary

We receive many requests for assistance from the local, national and international people, organisations and communities.

We conduct a number of fundraising activities with most of our funds and resources going towards supporting the activities of Rotary International and the local community activities we regularly support.

From time to time, resources are available, at the discretion of the membership, to assist other for worthwhile organisations or individuals.

We prefer to assist:

• Recognised charitable or service organisations
• Those who assist themselves

Individuals (other than those partaking in Rotary programs) are, generally, not assisted – but there are been exceptions.

Normally, where we provided support to an individual, an organisation recommended that individual as someone worthy of support.

Requests for assistance:

If you make a request for assistance, please explain the assistance sought and how this will help individuals or communities in need. We may request further information.

Please wait a reasonable time (some months) before asking for the Club’s response. Note that we do not reply to all requests for assistance received.

On receipt of a request, the Club Executive first considers it and, if they consider it worthy of further consideration, it is presented to the general membership for approval. If the membership considers the request worthy, the Club consider the application in detail.

Send all requests for assistance to the Club Secretary, not an individual Rotarian, in writing via email (refer to contact us).
