TRF Historical MilestonesTRF Historical Milestones

In 1917, Rotary’s sixth World President, Arch C. Klumph, proposed the creation of an “endowment fund for Rotary”

The Foundation’s first donation was made in 1930 and benefited the “Crippled Children Societies”

The death of Rotary founder Paul Harris in 1947 triggered an unprecedented flood of contributions which started the first scholarship program.

In 1957, the Trustees created the “Paul Harris Fellow” designation to recognize contributions of US$1’000

1965/66 saw the introduction of Group Study Exchange. Other programs were added throughout the 1970s and 80s

In 1985, the Foundation initiated its most prominent program called PolioPlus, which is a global campaign to eradicate the polio virus
