What are Foundation Recognition Points?

Whenever someone who has achieved Paul Harris Fellow (PHF) status makes an additional contribution to the APF (Annual Programs Fund), he or she is credited not only with the donation but also with an equal number of Foundation Recognition Points which may be assigned to another person.  These "points," (in dollars) may assist the other person in becoming a PHF or in reaching the next highest level of PHF recognition.
