Refund Policy

How to raise a refund request for each type of payment.

Updated September 25, 2026

How to request a review

Contact ioffice@rotaryone.world or +1 872 380 0208 with the payer’s name, date, amount and receipt reference. Do not send full card numbers. Identify whether the payment was for membership, an event, sponsorship or a Foundation contribution.

Membership dues

The official individual application fee of $150 USD is nonrefundable. Dues refund requests are reviewed individually, taking account of the membership period, participation and applicable membership terms. A refund or prorated credit is not automatic. Contact the office promptly with your receipt and reason for the request.

Voluntary contributions

Contributions are generally final. Contact the receiving organization promptly about an error, duplicate, incorrect amount or apparently unauthorized gift. Requests are reviewed individually using the transaction information you provide. Cancellation of future gifts does not automatically refund previous gifts.

Events & sponsorships

Event registration refunds follow the specific registration terms. Sponsorship refunds follow the written sponsorship agreement. Ask for the applicable written terms before committing to payment. Contact the office promptly if those terms are missing or unclear.

Other payments

For a payment that does not fit these categories, ask the club to identify the recipient and applicable terms before paying or requesting a refund.

Approved refunds & disputes

Approved refunds are ordinarily sent to the original payment method where possible. The processor and bank affect processing time; no fixed completion period is promised. Requests should be made promptly. Contacting the organization does not limit your statutory or payment-network dispute rights.
