How can your Rotary Club establish an eligible project?

Your project must qualify by reducing the incidence of poverty, sickness, suffering or helplessness in the community. Typically you will be partnering with a not for profit community service organisation under an unincorporated Joint Venture arrangement that seeks to raise between $20,000 to $50,000 (or more) per year from tax deductible donations. You will need to prepare a project outline and send it to the Secretary, Rotary District 9810 Charitable Services, PO Box 4144 Croydon Hills 3136 or via email to donkinnear9810@bigpond.com
