The Rotary Club of Bangkok Foundation is a Thai Ministry of Finance-approved charitable foundation. Donations are tax-deductible in Thailand. Here is what it is, how it works, and where the money goes.
Giving is easier when the mechanism is simple. The Rotary Club of Bangkok Foundation (RCBF) exists to make it simple.
What It Is
The RCBF is a registered, tax-exempt charitable foundation approved by Thailand's Ministry of Finance. It is the Club's official fundraising arm: the legal entity through which donations to our community projects are made in a way that is formally recognised and tax-deductible under Thai law.
The Foundation has its own Board of Directors, drawn from senior members and past presidents of the Club. It holds its own accounts, goes through an annual independent audit, and reports publicly on its activities.
What It Does
It does two things: it receives donations, and it funds projects.
Individuals, companies, and organisations that want to support the Club's community work can donate to the Foundation and receive a receipt for tax purposes in Thailand. When the Club has a project approved, whether a clean water system, Braille machines for visually impaired students, nursing scholarships, or education support for stateless children, the Foundation is how the funds are disbursed.
That two-part structure matters. A Bangkok company that sponsors our annual gala is not just buying table space: it is making a documented charitable contribution that can be used for tax purposes, while directly funding work that is genuinely needed.
How to Give
Online: Visit RCBFoundation.org to donate securely.
Mobile banking: Scan the Foundation's TTB QR code through your banking app.
Event sponsorship: We hold two major fundraising events each year, usually a concert in October and the annual gala in March. Corporate sponsorship packages are available for both.
Project-specific giving: If you care about a particular area, whether education, clean water, disability inclusion, or youth development, we can tell you how a donation would be directed most effectively.
What's Been Raised
In 2024/25, the Rotary Club of Bangkok organised the "Share the Love" concert in October, with proceeds going to the Foundation for the Blind in Thailand: ten Perkins Brailler machines and twenty classroom monitors for students with visual impairment.
The Club also organised the "Spread the Magic" gala at the Grand Hyatt Erawan in March 2025, featuring pop-opera group FIVERA. Net proceeds of THB 1,224,286 from ticket sales, sponsorship, member donations, and a charity raffle were passed to the RCBF to fund community service projects.
These events are not just about the money. They are evenings that bring Rotarians, their families, business contacts, and community supporters together around real work. The money raised goes directly to the projects on this website.
Why You Can Trust It
Because the RCBF is a Ministry of Finance-approved foundation, donors, whether individuals or companies, can receive official receipts for tax purposes in Thailand. The board is made up of Rotarians with decades of combined service who take personal responsibility for ensuring that donations are properly managed and directed.
For donors, whether individuals or companies, that consistency matters. A gift to the Rotary Club of Bangkok Foundation is a gift to a cause you can track, administered by people you can know.
The Rotary Club of Bangkok Foundation (RCBF) is approved by the Thai Ministry of Finance as a tax-exempt charitable foundation. Donations are tax-deductible in Thailand. To donate, visit RCBFoundation.org or contact the Club.
