What is Rotary?

• Rotary is a worldwide organization of more
  than 1.2 million business, professional, and
  community leaders. Members of Rotary clubs, known
  as Rotarians, provide humanitarian service,
  encourage high ethical standards in all
  vocations, and help build goodwill and peace in
  the world.

5
What is Rotary?

• There are 33,000 Rotary clubs in more than 200
  countries and geographical areas.
• Clubs are nonpolitical, nonreligious, and open to
  all cultures, races, and creeds.

6
What is Rotary?

• As signified by the motto Service Above Self,
  Rotarys main objective is service in the
  community, in the workplace, and throughout the
  world.

7
Who is Paul Harris?

• Paul P. Harris was the founder of Rotary. He was
  born in Racine, Wisconsin on April 19, 1868, and
  spent his early years in Wallingford, Vermont,
  prior to attending the University of Vermont,
  Princeton University and the University of Iowa. 

8
Who is Paul Harris?

• Paul Harris formed the worlds first service
  club, the Rotary Club of Chicago, on 23 February
  1905.
• His intention was to recapture in a professional
  club the same friendly spirit he had felt in the
  small towns of his youth.

9
The Rotary Foundation

• In 1917, RI President Arch C. Klumph proposed
• that an endowment be set up for the purpose of
• doing good in the world. In 1928, when the
• endowment fund had grown to more than
• US5,000, it was renamed The Rotary
• Foundation, and it became a distinct entity
• within Rotary International.

10
The Rotary Foundation

• Five Trustees, including Klumph, were appointed
  to hold, invest, manage, and administer all of
  its property . . . as a single trust, for the
  furtherance of the purposes of RI.

11
The Rotary Foundation

• Two years later, the Foundation made its first
  grant of 500 to the International Society for
  Crippled Children. The organization, created by
  Rotarian Edgar F. Daddy Allen, later grew into
  the Easter Seals.

12
The Rotary Foundation

• The Great Depression and World War II both
  impeded the Foundations growth, but the need for
  lasting world peace generated great postwar
  interest in its development. After Rotarys
  founder, Paul P. Harris, died in 1947,
  contributions began pouring into Rotary
  International, and the Paul Harris Memorial Fund
  was created to build the Foundation.

13
The Rotary Foundation

• That year, the first Foundation program the
  forerunner of Rotary Foundation Ambassadorial
  Scholarships  was established. In 1965-66, three
  new programs were launched Group Study
  Exchange, Awards for Technical Training, and
  Grants for Activities in Keeping with the
  Objective of The Rotary Foundation, which was
  later called Matching Grants.

14
The Rotary Foundation

• The Health, Hunger and Humanity (3-H)
  Grants program was launched in 1978, and Rotary
  Volunteers was created as a part of that program
  in 1980. PolioPlus was announced in 1984-85, and
  the next year brought Rotary Grants for
  University Teachers. The first peace forums were
  held in 1987-88, leading to the Foundations
  Peach and Conflict Studies Programs.

15
The Rotary Foundation

• Throughout this time, support of the Foundation
  grew tremendously. Since the first donation of
  26.50 in 1917, it has received contributions
  totaling more than 1 billion. More than 70
  million was donated in 2003-04 alone. To date,
  more than one million individuals have been
  recognized as Paul Harris Fellows  people who
  have given 1,000 to the Annual Programs Fund or
  have had that amount contributed in their name.

16
The Rotary Foundation

• Such strong support, along with Rotarian
  involvement worldwide, ensures a secure future
  for The Rotary Foundation as it continues its
  vital work for international understanding and
  world peace.

17
What is a Paul Harris Fellowship?

  Harris honor to express appreciation for
