“100 Percent Paul Harris Fellow Club Recognition

Rotary clubs in which 100 percent of all dues-paying members are Paul Harris Fellows are eligible to receive special recognition from The Rotary Foundation. Qualifying Rotary clubs will receive a special club recognition banner, and the club name will be engraved on a plaque in The Rotary Foundation Hall of Honor at Rotary International World Headquarters.

To obtain this Rotary club recognition:

  1. A club representative must determine that all current, dues-paying members of the Rotary club are Paul Harris Fellows and contact the district governor.
  2. The district governor must confirm this and send a letter to The Rotary Foundation Development Services Coordinator at: The Rotary Foundation (FN530), One Rotary Center, 1560 Sherman Avenue, Evanston, IL 60201, USA.

Honorary Rotarians and former club members do not need to be Paul Harris Fellows.

Annual Programs Fund Banners

The Trustees of The Rotary Foundation present club recognition banners each year to the three Rotary clubs in each district with:

  • the highest per capita Annual Programs Fund (Annual Giving) contributions
  • the highest total Annual Programs Fund contributions

These banners are mailed in October to the current district governor.

Please note: “Top Three in Highest Annual Programs Fund Giving” banners were discontinued as of 1 July 2005

Every Rotarian Every Year Club

Beginning in the 2005-06 Rotary Year, this banner is awarded to clubs that achieve a minimum $100 per capita and 100% participation with every active member contributing some amount to the Annual Programs Fund (APF-SHARE) during the Rotary year. This annual banner recognition is awarded following the conclusion of the Rotary year.

Rotary Foundation Sustaining Member Club

Rotary clubs must achieve a US$100 APF per capita and every active dues-paying member of the club personally contributes US$100 or more to the Annual Programs Fund (APF-SHARE) during the Rotary year. This annual banner recognition is awarded following the conclusion of the Rotary year, and is based on active membership as of 30 June.
