Commencing July 1, 2007, each donor who annually contributes $1,000 to The Rotary Foundation will be recognized with membership in The Paul Harris Society. Society members will receive District-wide recognition, and a distinctive gold and blue lapel banner, which can be worn with their Rotary pins.

This new level of recognition will not be suitable for every Rotarian but is available for those donors who chose to give at this level each Rotary year. Our ever-increasing involvement and support of Rotary Foundation Programs necessitates our need for increasing amounts of Annual and Restricted Giving. Permanent Fund contributions do not qualify for this program. Only new contributions qualify.

This program is recognized by Rotary International, however the administration of the program is left up to the District. The program is being embraced by Districts across the United States as a means of greater donor recognition and contributions to The Rotary Foundation.
