Paul Harris Fellow/Multiple Paul Harris Fellow
 Anyone who contributes – or in whose name is contributed – a gift
of US$1,000 or more to the Annual Programs Fund may
become a Paul Harris Fellow. Each new Paul Harris
Fellow receives a commemorative certificate, a Paul
Harris Fellow pin, and a medallion. Donors are
eligible for Paul Harris Fellow recognition when
their cumulative giving reaches US$1,000.
For additional gifts totaling US$1,000 or more, a
Paul Harris Fellow:
- is recognized as a Multiple Paul Harris
Fellow
- may also choose to honor someone else as a
Paul Harris Fellow with their Foundation
Recognition Points, formerly called "available
credit"
- is eligible to receive a Multiple Paul Harris
Fellow pin with additional stones.
Recognition levels are determined
based on the following guidelines:

Q:
What types of contributions are
eligible for Paul Harris Fellow or Multiple Paul
Harris Fellow recognition?
A: All contributions to
the Annual Programs Fund and/or restricted gifts are
eligible.
Q:
Can a business or organization be a Paul Harris
Fellow?
A: No. Occasionally,
a donor contributes US$1,000 and wishes to recognize
a business or organization. In these instances, since
Paul Harris Fellow recognition can only be presented
to individuals, a Certificate of Appreciation is
given instead.
Q: Can I name someone else a Paul
Harris Fellow?
A: Yes. There are two
ways to do this:
You may make a contribution of US$1,000 and ask
that the recognition be awarded to another person.
Or you may contribute Recognition Points to
another person. Recognition Points are accumulated
when a Paul Harris Fellow has made a personal
contribution in addition to his or her initial gift
of US$1,000. At the same time that the donor's
recognition level increases through this new gift, he
or she also accrues Recognition Points, which can be
transferred to other donors' accounts. If 1,000
Recognition Points are transferred to one person,
that individual becomes a Paul Harris Fellow.
The Recognition Points can also be split between
multiple accounts. For example, if 1,000 Recognition
Points were divided equally between two people who
had not previously contributed to the Foundation,
each of those individuals would need to contribute
only an additional US$500 to become Paul Harris
Fellows.
Q:
Can Recognition Points also be used to name
Multiple Paul Harris Fellows?
A: Yes. A donor
who is already a Paul Harris Fellow becomes a
Multiple Paul Harris Fellow if 1,000 Recognition
Points are transferred to his or her account.
Q:
When do Recognition Points expire?
A: Foundation Recognition
Points no longer expire. |
