What is a Paul Harris Fellow?
The Paul Harris Fellow (PHF) is one of Rotary's most meaningful recognitions. Established in 1957 and named after Rotary's founder, it honors individuals who contribute to the mission of The Rotary Foundation.
How Does It Work?
A Paul Harris Fellow is awarded for a cumulative contribution of US$1,000 or more to The Rotary Foundation. This can be made over time—not necessarily all at once—through donations to the Annual Fund, PolioPlus, or approved global grants.
Both Rotarians and non-Rotarians can receive this honor.
Multiple Levels
Each additional US$1,000 adds stones to your pin:
· $1,000 – PHF
· $2,000–$6,999 – Add Sapphires (+1 to +5)
· $7,000–$9,999 – Add Rubies (+1 to +3)
Not to Be Confused With Paul Harris Society
· Paul Harris Fellow = Lifetime cumulative giving of $1,000+
· Paul Harris Society = Annual commitment of $1,000+
Honor Someone
You can also contribute in honor of someone special to recognize their service.
