All About Paul Harris 

Paul Harris Fellow

 Paul Harris Society 

The Paul Harris Fellow recognition acknowledges individuals who contribute, or who have contributions made in their name, of $1,000 to The Rotary Foundation.

Rotary Club of Orange Park Sunrise

PHF (Paul Harris Fellowship) Campaign

Each April, the Rotary Club of Orange Park Sunrise participates in a Paul Harris Fellowship (PHF) Campaign to encourage members to advance to the next level of PHF recognition through the use of matching club points.

Beginning in April, the club will notify members of their current PHF status and outline how they can achieve the next level of recognition.

Members may contribute to The Rotary Foundation, and the club will match those contributions with club points—up to $250 per member—to help them reach the next PHF level.

Examples:

Member A needs $600 to reach PHF+4. The member contributes $350, and the club adds $250 in matching points, advancing the member to the next level.

Member B needs $400 to reach PHF+2. The member contributes $200, and the club matches it with $200 in club points, advancing the member to the next level.

The Paul Harris Society recognizes Rotary members and friends of The Rotary Foundation who elect to contribute $1,000 or more each year to any combination of the following:

Annual Fund-SHARE
Annual Fund-World Fund
Annual Fund-Areas of focus
PolioPlus Fund
Disaster Response Fund
Disasters of Magnitude
Approved global grants

The purpose of the Paul Harris Society is to honor and thank individuals for their generous, ongoing support of The Rotary Foundation.

Rotary districts often honor new members of the Paul Harris Society by presenting them with a certificate and chevron at a district or club event.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed in some way to The Rotary Foundation. In doing so, we are helping those in need while honoring the legacy of Rotary’s founder, Paul Harris.

In November 2025, our club was honored to be recognized as a 2x 100% Paul Harris Fellow Club. To watch the celebratory video, click here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nOdeiBegZc, and read our full recap blog post here: https://www.oprotarysunrise.com/index.php?p=stories&storyid=320195
