In 1987, the RCM introduced the Sir John Reid Community Service Award as a permanent memorial in recognition of Sir John’s commitment to the community. The Award is made in recognition of an individual judged to have been devoted to community welfare for a lengthy period without remuneration. The recipient is presented with a citation and plaque commissioned by the Club and produced by sculptor Michael Meszaros.
In 2017, the John T Reid Charitable Trust, as a memorial to Sir John and Lady Reid’s legacy in service and philanthropic endeavours, awarded a $300,000 grant to the RCM for the purpose of providing a financial gift of up to $10,000 to the not-for-profit organisation associated with the Award recipient.
