A Paul Harris Fellow is an individual honored by Rotary for a significant contribution to The Rotary Foundation, recognizing their support for its charitable and educational programs, promoting world peace, and upholding Rotary's ideals of service; recipients get a certificate, pin, and medallion. This recognition, established in 1957, honors Rotary founder Paul Harris and can be given for donations to the Annual Fund, PolioPlus, or Foundation grants, often in recognition of community leaders or dedicated Rotarians.
