FOUNDATION FACTSFoundation recognition points At their April meeting, the Rotary Foundation Trustees made the following changes to Paul Harris Fellow recognition effective 1 July 2009: • Foundation Recognition Points (FRPs) may only be transferred for transactions of 100 points or more. They can only be transferred once. • Individual FRPs will expire upon the death of the donor or death of the surviving spouse of a major donor. • The individual donor will be the only person authorized to transfer FRPs. For a club account, the club president may authorize the transfer of points; for a district account, the district governor may authorize the transfer. • Paul Harris Fellow medallions are available from the RI Distribution Center or International Office at a cost of $15 each (including shipping). Certificates and lapel pins are still provided gratis by the Foundation. “This [policy] will be beneficial for all Rotarians globally and serve to help club and district leaders who are asking for contributions during this global economic slowdown,” said Louis Piconi, Vice Chair of the Trustees’ Fund Development Committee. “The adjusted policy will enable and encourage everyone to use their personal recognition points in concert with an additional contribution of US$100 for either the Polio Eradication Challenge or the Annual Programs Fund to recognize a family member or friend or a local community volunteer.” Club access to Foundation reports now available The Club Recognition Summary (CRS), EREY eligibility report, and Monthly Contribution Report (MCR) are useful tools for verifying contributions to the Foundation. Recently, the Foundation extended access to these reports to club Foundation Chairs and club Treasurers. To provide access, the club President or Secretary should go to www.rotary.org and click on Member Access in the upper right-hand corner, then enter the name and e-mail address of the club Foundation Chair and club Treasurer. |
