Have questions about Every Rotarian, Every Year, Paul Harris Fellows, the Rotary Foundation, contributions, etc.? Dick Schroeder has the answers...
The Every Rotarian, Every Year initiative asks every Rotarian to personally contribute to the Foundation’s Annual Fund every year. We ask you to give $25 per quarter which is listed on your club invoice as a voluntary contribution.
May FAQ’s:
Are EREY contributions acknowledged?
YES. Each dollar you give to the Rotary Foundation is acknowledged by the awarding of a “recognition point.”
How do I accumulate recognition points?
You receive one Foundation recognition point for every dollar you contribute to the Annual Fund or to Polio Plus.
What is the connection between Foundation recognition points and PHF?
When a member has acquired 1,000 recognition points The Rotary Foundation recognizes them as a Paul Harris Fellow. To encourage reaching Paul Harris Fellow status, Lima Rotary matches a member’s first 500 points to advance them to PHF.
How is continued giving acknowledged?
Paul Harris Fellows who maintain their support of the Annual Fund or Polio Plus continue to accumulate recognition points. Each time a member acquires an additional 1,000 recognition points they reach another giving level. The Rotary Foundation awards a new pin for each level - with the number of jewels denoting the level.
What can I do with my Foundation recognition points?
You cannot personally benefit from your Foundation recognition points but they are important in at least two ways.
First, they serve as a measure of your continuing support for Rotary International and its world-wide activities for mankind.
Second, you can transfer Foundation recognition points to others to help them qualify as a Paul Harris Fellow or to advance as a Multiple Paul Harris Fellow.
