In April, The Rotary Foundation Board of Trustees voted to establish a 100-point minimum for the transfer of Foundation recognition points, effective 1 July.
Recognition points are credits that donors receive for contributions to the Foundation that can be transferred among Rotary accounts. Individuals, clubs, and districts can transfer as many points as they have to other individual accounts to increase others' donor recognition amounts, or level of donor recognition.
As of 1 July, points may only be transferred in transactions of 100 points or more, and individual donors will be the only ones authorized to transfer points from their individual accounts.
Donors begin to earn points after they qualify for Paul Harris Fellow Recognition . They accrue one recognition point for each U.S. dollar contributed to the Foundation's Annual Programs Fund, PolioPlus, or approved Matching Grant.
To transfer points, fill out the Recognition Transfer Request Form. The form will be updated on 1 July to reflect the changes to the Foundation recognition points policy.
