![Page 4: Utilizing TRF Recognition Points to Increase APF Giving The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081514/551acec755034606048b5069/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Individual contributions generate recognition points All contributions to the
Annual Programs Fund after the initial $1,000 (resulting in PHF recognition)
No points are generated by your contributions until you have reached your PHF
![Page 5: Utilizing TRF Recognition Points to Increase APF Giving The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081514/551acec755034606048b5069/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Individual contributions (cont’d.)
Example: Sally is a PHF and Sustaining
Member who contributes $200 per year.
Her current total contributions: $1,400
Sally has generated 400 recognition points
![Page 6: Utilizing TRF Recognition Points to Increase APF Giving The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081514/551acec755034606048b5069/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Individual contributions (cont’d.)
Example: Paul is a Multiple PHF and
Sustaining Member who contributes $400 per year.
His current total contributions: $2,800
Paul has generated 1,800 recognition points
![Page 7: Utilizing TRF Recognition Points to Increase APF Giving The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081514/551acec755034606048b5069/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Credit for contributions of former members can be transferred to current members – but not deceased members
Example: George, a Rotarian, died last year He had contributed so far $750 toward
his Paul Harris Fellow As of July 1, 2009, contributions made by
deceased members can no longer be transferred to current members.
![Page 8: Utilizing TRF Recognition Points to Increase APF Giving The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081514/551acec755034606048b5069/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
However, former club members . . .
Example: Ron is a former member of the club His total contributions toward his PHF before
he left the club were $250 With his permission, credit for his $250 can be
transferred to another member toward his/her PHF
NOTE CHANGE: If he cannot be reached, the Club President can no longer sign off on it and transfer the points.

Caution!
Do not transfer these recognition points to your Rotary club’s account
Why? Because recognition points can only be
transferred once It would accomplish nothing for the club to
have points it could not use to generate additional Foundation giving
![Page 10: Utilizing TRF Recognition Points to Increase APF Giving The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081514/551acec755034606048b5069/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
So what can Sally & Paul do with their recognition points?
Sally would like to honor her husband Sam by making him a Paul Harris Fellow
By contributing $600 more to The Rotary Foundation, and transferring her 400 points to Sam, he could become a PHF
And Sally could also achieve Multiple Paul Harris Fellow recognition
![Page 11: Utilizing TRF Recognition Points to Increase APF Giving The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081514/551acec755034606048b5069/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
What could Paul do with his points?
By contributing $200 more to The Rotary Foundation, he could Transfer 900 points to his wife and honor
her by making her a Paul Harris Fellow Transfer 900 points and honor his
favorite granddaughter who is graduating this year by making her a PHF, too
And achieve his next Multiple PHF level of recognition

![Page 15: Utilizing TRF Recognition Points to Increase APF Giving The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081514/551acec755034606048b5069/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
What can clubs do with their recognition points?
#1 Answer: Use them creatively for matching to generate additional contributions to The Rotary Foundation
#2 Answer: Honor with a Paul Harris Fellowship some worthy recipient
![Page 16: Utilizing TRF Recognition Points to Increase APF Giving The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081514/551acec755034606048b5069/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Creative club usage of recognition points
Play “Let’s Make A Deal” with club members
To help them reach their goals
To do some things they would really like to be able to do — NOW, at half the cost
![Page 17: Utilizing TRF Recognition Points to Increase APF Giving The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081514/551acec755034606048b5069/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Let’s look at some examples
Frank has given $500 so far toward his goal of becoming a Paul Harris Fellow
So the club says to Frank, “Let’s make a deal: If you can come up with half of what you need to reach your goal, we’ll match you with the other half.”
So Frank agrees to contribute $250 more to TRF, the club matches that with 250 recognition points, and Frank becomes a Paul Harris Fellow — NOW, rather than later
![Page 18: Utilizing TRF Recognition Points to Increase APF Giving The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081514/551acec755034606048b5069/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
More examples . . . Rachel is already a Paul Harris
Fellow who has contributed $1,300
So the club says to her, “Let’s make a deal: If you can come up with $350, we’ll match you — to make you a Multiple PHF.”
So Rachel contributes the $350, the club matches her with points, and she becomes a Multiple PHF
![Page 19: Utilizing TRF Recognition Points to Increase APF Giving The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081514/551acec755034606048b5069/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Another example . . . Lindsay just became a Paul Harris Fellow,
and she has remarked that she would like to make her father a PHF someday
So the club says, “Let’s make a deal: If you can come up with $500, we will match you, and you can make your Dad a PHF on his birthday.”
So Lindsay contributes the $500, the club matches her with points, and they honor her father on his birthday at a Rotary meeting.
![Page 20: Utilizing TRF Recognition Points to Increase APF Giving The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081514/551acec755034606048b5069/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Still another example . . . Brad is a new Rotarian who is
considering becoming a Sustaining Member, contributing at least $100 per year to The Rotary Foundation
So the club says to Brad, “Let’s make a deal: If you will commit to be a Sustaining Member, we will match your first $100."
![Page 21: Utilizing TRF Recognition Points to Increase APF Giving The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081514/551acec755034606048b5069/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Consider the potential Your club could make such
creative proposals to every member of the club — depending on how many recognition points your club has accumulated
And before you know it, you will have boosted your club’s Foundation giving — and significantly raised your per capita giving as well!
![Page 22: Utilizing TRF Recognition Points to Increase APF Giving The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081514/551acec755034606048b5069/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
So what changed on July 1, 2009?
No more recovering credit for deceased members’ contributions
No more recovering credit for prior members’ contributions of less than $100 — or any amount without the person’s personally signed permission
No more transfers for any person or club allowed for less than 100 FRPs
![Page 23: Utilizing TRF Recognition Points to Increase APF Giving The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081514/551acec755034606048b5069/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Priorities before July 1, 2010 Transfer credit for
contributions of prior members of $100 or more
Play “Let’s Make A Deal” with your club members
![Page 24: Utilizing TRF Recognition Points to Increase APF Giving The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081514/551acec755034606048b5069/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The Critical Forms Club Recognition Summary (CRS)
Can be generated from www.rotary.org via “Member Access” by club presidents and district governors
Instead of choosing “Club Members,” select “All”
This report is needed to provide a summary of all members’ giving totals — and to identify the recognition points available for the club and each member
An * to the left of a name designates deceased
![Page 25: Utilizing TRF Recognition Points to Increase APF Giving The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081514/551acec755034606048b5069/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
The other critical form Recognition & Transfer Request Form
Can be accessed by anyone at http://www.rotary.org/RIdocuments/en_pdf/102en.pdf
One form will be needed for each transfer of points to each individual
Be sure the name is entered exactly as it is on the Club Recognition Summary Form (CRS) to avoid creating duplicate records for the same individual
![Page 26: Utilizing TRF Recognition Points to Increase APF Giving The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081514/551acec755034606048b5069/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Act now . . .
Utilizing FRPs can help raise your club’s Foundation giving totals this year
But recognize essential lead time It takes time to contact members and former
members, to get decisions and responses, and to process the paperwork
Make this a top priority to act NOW!
