Each month, we’ll provide a snippet of information about the Foundation, “Foundation Moments”, in a form that can be readily used by clubs and districts in their newsletters, web pages, social media pages etc.

WHAT IS A PAUL HARRIS FELLOW?

Paul Harris Fellow recognition is given to anyone who contributes at least US$1,000 to the Annual Fund, PolioPlus, the Disaster Response Fund or an approved global grant. This recognition, which consists of a certificate and pin, can also be given on behalf of someone else.

More than 1.6 million people have become Paul Harris Fellows since 1957, including notable figures such as former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, former Russian President Boris Yeltsin, and polio vaccine developer Dr Jonas Salk.
