The Paul Harris Society is named after the founder of Rotary International.The society recognizes friends of The Rotary Foundation who annually
contribute US$1,000 or more to the Annual Programs Fund, PolioPlus, and other approved Foundation grant activities.
Paul Harris Fellows gifts advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through the improvement of health, the support of education, and the alleviation of poverty.
The contribution supports activities such as:
• Vocational and on-the-job training for land mine
victims in Cambodia
• Hand-washing stations, training for teachers, and
in-depth hygiene training for students at a school
in Ecuador
• A scholarship for a Japanese student to study
effective adult learning methods abroad
• Milking cows for farmers in Russia
• Microcredit loans to women in Togo
• Reading and mathematics textbooks for students
in the United States of America
Projects like these depend on the ongoing support of dedicated Rotarians and friends.
The Paul Harris Society is a district-administered recognition program.
Membership is tracked and recognized independently by each Rotary district.
