- If you yourself are the beneficiary, verify the number of PHF Recognition Points (NOT Foundation Recognition Points available for transfer) under your account [click here to access your personal donation report]. If you cannot access this information, please check with your club secretary to provide such
- If you yourself are NOT the beneficiary and you are contributing towards another Rotarian's or Rotaractor's recognition, check with that member himself/herself OR your club secretary OR the respective secretary from beneficiary's club to verify the current number of PHF Recognition Points under the beneficiary's account

- Verify that the number of PHF Recognition Points under the intended beneficiary's account (i.e. your account OR the account of another Rotarian/Rotaractor OR a new account which will be created for a non-member) is 950 points or fewer
- Determine the number of points needed to get to 1000 and divide by 2 - this will be the USD value of the contribution you are required to make. For example: a) if there are zero PHF Recognition points accumulated, then 1000 points are needed and a contribution of (1000 ÷ 2 =) US $500 is required; or b) if there are 420 PHF Recognition points already accumulated, then 580 points are needed to get to 1000 and a contribution of US $290 is required; and c) if there are 675.75 PHF Recognition points already accumulated, then 324.25 points are needed to get to 1000 and a contribution of US $325 is required (please note that for fractional amounts, you must always round up to the nearest dollar)
