To get started
we can go directly to the Heifer International gift page: Payment by electronic transfer or credit card will enable Heifer International to identify your Rotary club/district to record the “Virtual Herd” as per instructions on page 6. Donors can make birthday, Christmas, club gifts known by selecting a gift card and personalising it using the Heifer International Gift Card system.
