Contributions and Paul Harris Fellow Recognition
All cash contributions to The Rotary Foundation that are to be applied to a global
grant require an additional contribution of 5 percent to cover the costs associated
with processing these funds. Use the global grant calculator to figure your budget
automatically. When you apply for a global grant, the Grant Center will also make
calculations as you enter information. Both will display the total amount required to
fully fund the project.

Points for Paul Harris Fellow recognition will be awarded on the full amount of any
cash contributions to the Foundation. Tax receipts, where applicable, will also be
provided for the total amount of the cash contribution. The additional 5 percent is
not matched by the Foundation.
If you use DDF for a grant project, no additional contribution is required. Also,
cash deposited directly into a project bank account is not subject to the additional
5 percent assessment. Let the Foundation payment coordinator know the amount
of cash — if any — that is being sent directly to the project bank account. Such
contributions don’t generate Paul Harris Fellow recognition points, and the
Foundation doesn’t issue tax receipts for them.
