In most cases, donations will be made to a Rotary Club or District in the impacted area up to the following limits: Colorado - $5,000, National - $2,500, International - $1,000.

The Club will also encourage members to make donations to the Denver Rotary Club Foundation to be forwarded to the disaster area.  Please DONATE NOW to the Haiti Earthquake Relief Fund.
