A corporate membership allows Rotary clubs to involve a corporation — or any business, nonprofit, or government entity — in Rotary by offering an alternative membership package to some of its employees. Having corporate members increases the club's membership while expanding its network and visibility in the community. Some clubs around the district have embraced corporate members who strengthen and diversify their clubs. Download A Guide to Corporate Membership
Only one person from the corporation must be a full Rotary member, paying full Rotary and District dues. For others from the corporation, they pay club dues at whatever rate is set by the club. Because the others are not Rotarians, they pay no Rotary International ($70 annually) nor District dues ($43 annually). Clubs set the dues for the other corporate members, charging 25%, 50% or 100% of the full club portion of dues. Some clubs require two full Rotarians from a company and then as many others as the company wants to enroll are welcomed at no additional cost. It is the club’s decision or what to charge for corporate members.
Most clubs invite all corporate members to attend all meetings, service projects, and social events but the expectation is that the corporate member will have at least one attend. All corporate members are typically included on the club mailing list and receive the club bulletin and are welcomed whenever they attend.
Clubs often try out the corporate membership, with Board approval, for a year before amending their bylaws, as the extras from a company are not full Rotarians. For more info Download Guide to Corporate Membership
