The following message has been received from Frank Pezzimenti, Regional Head, Rotary International South Pacific & Philippines

On behalf of PDG Maurice Hill, Chairman of The Australian Rotary Foundation Trust (TARFT), I am pleased to announce that The Rotary Foundation(TRF) through TARFT will accept direct donations for the Haiti relief effort. The RI regional office just received approval from the AustralianTax office to be able to give tax deductible receipts for donations.

Important to note

• The donations will be tax deductible for Australian taxpayers. Donors will receive a receipt.
• The donations will not accrue PHF credits or count towards becoming a Major Donor. Donations to the Haiti fund-raising will not be recorded as a part of the club or district Annual Program Fund contribution and, of course will not be part of our $200m Polio Challenge. This is something above and beyond club and district commitments to OUR Foundation
