Paul Harris, the founder and organizer of the first Rotary Club in Chicago in 1905. By 1910 there were 16 Rotary Clubs called the National Association of Rotary Clubs. In 1912 The name of the Association was changed to the International Association of Rotary Clubs to reflect the addition of clubs in Canada, England, Ireland and Scotland. Paul Harris had declined to be the first club’s President but he was elected as the first president of the worldwide organization.

Honoring him, the recognition of $1000 gifts made by either individuals or clubs to the Rotary Foundation was first proposed in 1957
