Member Financial Expectations 2026-27

Dues

The only required cost of membership in the Rotary Club of San Francisco is annual Club dues.
 
  • Annual dues are $450 for members under 40 years old.
  • Annual dues are $750 for members 40 and older.
  • Annual dues for a second member from the same household are $262.50.
 

Regular Club Meetings

Attendance at our meetings is not required, but we recommend that new members attend as many meetings as possible to better understand the club and to meet fellow members. 
 
  • There are 24 regular luncheon meetings each year. You only pay for luncheons that you attend.
    • For club members, luncheon tickets are $45 up until 12 noon on the Friday prior to Tuesday’s meeting. After that time lunch price rises to $60.  Visitors pay $60 for luncheon tickets. Prices are subject to change.
    • Most members attend at least one luncheon per month. Some members attend all of them.
  • There is one evening meeting each month. The only cost to attend evening meetings is for food and beverage you order.

 

Service Projects

The Club conducts many hands-on service projects. Service is our main passion, and working on a service project is the best way to build relationships with other members. There is no charge to participate in service projects, but members often enjoy an optional meal together before or after volunteering.
 

Social Events

The Club sponsors a variety of social events, ranging from food-truck dinners to evenings at the ballet. Social events are a great way to get to know other members. Attendance is not required. Prices vary.

 

Holiday Luncheon and Annual Meeting

We encourage members to attend the Holiday Luncheon and Annual Meeting held each December. We elect incoming officers and board members, and vote on major questions such as changes to the Club’s bylaws. Cost is usually about $75 - $100.
 

Donations to Rotary Charities

All members are encouraged to be as generous as possible to the Club’s own San Francisco Rotary Foundation as well as The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International (TRF). Donations to both organizations are tax deductible and fund the work of Rotary. Most members give about $100 to each of them.
 
At a minimum all Rotarians are expected to meet the requirements of Every Rotarian Every Year (EREY) by giving $25 to TRF.
 

Dues Prior to Induction 

Prior to induction you will be required to make payment of the first quarter’s dues, as an indication of your engagement with the Club. You will be introduced to the Treasurer of the Club to help make this happen.
