Goals Why should we set goals for fundraising? Goals provide district, clubs and individuals planning information. Goals provide district, clubs and individuals an achievement target.

Goals As a district the contribution goals are set buy clubs with a target contribution amount of USD100 for every Rotarian in our District As a district we are a great supporter of TRF but individual clubs are very poor at planning and advising district of our plans.

Goals Only 14 clubs in District 9780 have entered goals for contributions to TRF for this club year. Thankyou for your effort who have. These goals can be entered in “club central” by club president or secretary. Also note that some clubs have already exceeded their goal for this club year.

Paul Harris Fellowship -PHF. MYTH: The PHF is an award for clubs to give to Rotarians. FACT: A PHF is purely the recognition of a contribution of USD1000 to the TRF in an individuals name. MYTH - If I contribute USD1000 to TRF am I buying an award and I won’t go to Rotary Heaven. FACT: Many people contribute to TRF and can claim one or more PHF recognitions; Multiple PHF. A multiple PHF can nominate an individual to receive a PHF.
