The award was named after the founder of the Rotary Paul Harris. Rotary members received the Paul Harris designation through donations to the Rotary Foundation which are used to fund service projects both locally and around the world.
The award can also be given to a non-Rotarian, who exemplifies the humanitarian ideals of Rotary and who has made a significant contribution to the community.
