Paul Harris Society

The Paul Harris Society recognizes Rotary members and friends of The Rotary Foundation who elect to contribute $1,000 or more each year to the Annual Fund, PolioPlus Fund, or approved global grants.

The purpose of the Paul Harris Society is to honor and thank individuals for their generous, ongoing support of The Rotary Foundation.
 

Some new PHS members tells us why they joined:

Being involved with an international project increased my appreciation for the good we can do with The Rotary Foundation. Being a volunteer on a project is part of the commitment, but helping finance projects is the other part. I felt it was time to make a long-term pledge to help support the Foundation I trust and in which I believe. I'm proud to be a Rotarian and proud to be a member of the Paul Harris Society.
- Harvey Bass, of the Rotary Club of Florenceville, New Brunswick, Canada
 
 
I can’t physically assist in my club's projects, but as a Major Donor, Bequest Society member, and always a supporter of the Foundation, here is an opportunity to support the Foundation in one more way, and hopefully encourage others in my club to do the same. I want to be a Foundation Champion!
- Georgene Mellom, of the Rotary Club of Clover Park, Washington, USA
 
TRF has proven time and time again that it uses its funds responsibly. I see my donations making positive changes in our world, whether it is upgrading one of our local parks or enabling students from around the world to live here as RYE ambassadors. Donating with Rotary Direct makes giving easy, and I appreciate the long-term benefits of what that money will do. I am proud to do my part to make Foundation projects possible.
