The Centurion Programme is for all Rotarians to enable regular contributions to the Rotary Foundation. $100 (AUD) is donated annually and is tax deductible. Contributions can count towards a Paul Harris Fellow
The contribution to Rotary's Annual Fund supports positive change in your local community and communities around the globe. Rotarians answer the call to action where it is needed most. Whether promoting peace and economic growth, delivering life-saving medication, providing sorely needed educational resources or supplying clean water, your support helps Rotarians solve the world's most
challenging issues.
