Make someone else a Paul Harris Fellow - you can give back to friends, family, spouses, and colleagues who have made valuable contributions to your life by donating $1,000 to the Foundation’s Annual Programs Fund in their honor, which will earn them Paul Harris Fellow Recognition. You also may give another person recognition points, which are accumulated when Paul Harris Fellows make personal contributions in addition to their initial gift of $1,000. As donors increase their recognition levels through new gifts, they accrue points, which don’t expire and can be transferred to other donors’ accounts. If 1,000 points are transferred to one person, that individual becomes a Paul Harris Fellow.
