  1. THE PAUL HARRIS SOCIETY of DISTRICT 5170

  2. DEFINITION • The Paul Harris Society of District 5170 is a level of recognition for those donors who make a commitment to contribute $1,000 or more each year to The Rotary Foundation.

  3. GUIDELINES • Each DONOR must give a minimum $1,000 in new cash donations per year to qualify. • Recognition Points, contributions to The Permanent Fund, and pledges do not count. • Membership is awarded only when the full amount is received by The Rotary Foundation.

  4. FACTS • The Paul Harris Society pledge must be paid during the Rotary year (by 30 June) though it may be paid in installments.  • The best payment method is to give a check to your Foundation Committee Chair. • A good alternative method to make a donation is through TRF-DIRECT.

  5. FACTS • With each $1,000 gift you may NAME a new Paul Harris Fellow.  • Only gifts to the Annual Fund, Polio Plus Fund and Humanitarian Grants are eligible for Paul Harris Society Recognition

  6. FACTS • Your Paul Harris Society membership begins upon your contribution in the current Rotary year 2012-2013. • A personal gift already made to the 2012-2013 Annual Programs Fund counts toward your Paul Harris Society pledge.  Example:  If you've already made a $200 gift to the Foundation this Rotary year you can become a Paul Harris Society member with the gift of an additional $800. 

  7. FACTS • Although Rotary International recognizes and endorses the Paul Harris Society, individual recognition is produced and awarded by the District, NOT by Rotary International.

  8. PAYMENT • Sounds like a lot but consider this: $1,000/yr = $83.33/mth or $19.23/week • Use TRF-DIRECT to automatically transfer funds from a U.S. based checking, savings or credit card account to The Rotary Foundation on an ongoing basis. (US$85/month; $250/quarter; $1,000/year…)
