Paul Harris Fellows

Named for the founder of Rotary International, the Paul Harris Fellow Recognition Program honors those who contribute $1,000 or more to the Rotary Foundation’s Annual Programs Fund and other Foundation grant activities. Since the first Paul Harris Fellow was awarded in 1957, over one million Fellows have been recognized and represent over $1 billion in contributions to further the Rotary Foundation’s mission to improve health, support education and alleviate poverty. Each $1,000 gift provides hope to millions of people through international humanitarian, educational, and cultural exchange programs. Paul Harris Fellows who advise the Foundation of their commitment to give $1,000 annually to the funds noted above are named to the Paul Harris Society.
