Rotary District 5170 Triple Crown Donor
At its 2018 Annual Conference, District 5170 introduced a new level of donor recognition, the Triple Crown Donor, designed to honor those individuals who have made very generous contributions to The Rotary Foundation. To qualify for this award, one must accomplish three objectives:
- Be a Major Donor – When your cash donations to the Foundation total at least $10,000. There are 537 Major Donors in the District as of July 2025.
- Be a member of the Bequest Society – When you commit a total of $10,000 or more to the Permanent Fund of the Foundation via your Estate Plan. There are 129 Bequest Society Members in the District as of July 2025.
- Be a Grand Donor – When your cash donations to the Foundation during the current Rotary year reach $1,000 and start your journey in joining the Paul Harris Society with 214 members as of July 2025.
Please note that a person is recognized as a Triple Crown Donor only for the year in which they meet all three criteria. That means that there are no Triple Crown Donors at the beginning of July. The recognition has to be earned each year.
