General Inormation: Dues

The semiannual dues paid to RI allow the Secretariat to provide high-quality information and support to Rotarians around the world.

With your dues, Rotary can provide publications and communications in nine languages, make improvements to http://www.rotary.org/ ,train Rotary leaders, assist district governors financially with their year in service, and administer programs such as Rotaract.

RI per capita dues for the next four years will be (US$):
$24.00 per half year in 2008-09
$24.50 per half year in 2009-10
$25.00 per half year in 2010-11

All clubs will also be billed $1 per person on their July semiannual invoice to help defray the costs of the Council on Legislation, which meets every three years.

Some semiannual invoices may also include $12 per year for each subscription to The Rotarian, billed as $6 in January and $6 in July (subscriptions to regional Rotary magazines are billed separately), and variable fees for insurance (U.S. clubs only).


Consequences for nonpayment of club dues

Clubs that have not paid their RI dues within six months of the due date will be terminated.
Clubs will then have one year to fulfill the following reinstatement requirements:

Within 90 days after the termination date, clubs must :-

Pay all outstanding financial obligations at the time of termination
Pay all semiannual dues that continue to accrue thereafter
Pay a $10 per member reinstatement fee
Between 91 and 365 days after the termination date, clubs must

Pay a $10 per member reinstatement fee
Pay a $15 per member application fee

Reinstatement is not possible more than 365 days after the termination date.

After that time, the club termination is permanent, and the club loses its name, history, and charter.
