Make Dreams Real
The Foundation sponsors one of the largest international scholarship programs in the world. Scholars study in a country other than their own where they serve as unofficial "ambassadors of goodwill." As a 2005-2006 Ambassadorial Scholar in Barcelona, Spain, District 2210, Alissa Creamer, sponsored by District 5100 (USA) has done a tremendous job of fulfilling her ambassadorial duties as well as making an important humanitarian contribution to the world with a documentary that she is directing. While attending film classes at her university, she met two children, Cassinda, age 6, and Romeo, age 10, from Angola at the Hospital de Sant Pau. These two children were undergoing surgery for injuries sustained from a landmine explosion. After spending nearly every day with these children for 3 months, Alissa decided to direct a documentary film about these two courageous children from the war-torn country of Angola. Since 1947, more than 38,000 scholars from over 100 countries have received scholarships at a cost of more than $490 million. In 2006-07, 822 scholars from 50 countries studied in 80 countries. Program awards were $13.9 million.[Speakers cue: reference any recent Ambassadorial scholars associated with your district]Rotarys Matching Grants program enables clubs in one part of the world to connect with a club or a Rotarian located a world away to combine their energies and make a difference. When Rotarians Ernie and Sally Montagne first traveled to West Africa on a volunteer Service Grant, they never expected the huge impact Rotary and Rotarians could have on the world. But through their efforts, a Matching grant was obtained to fund several programs in in Africa. By working together, Rotarians from Germany, Australia, Canada, The United States, Mexico, and Niger have obtained several grants for projects in Niger, the poorest nation in the world. One project helped build the well pictured here. Wells such as this one help provide clean water and will make life healthier and easier for these villagers.Matching Grants provide matching funds for international service projects of Rotary clubs and districts. Since 1965, 26,000 Matching Grant projects in 171 countries have been funded at a cost of more than $291 million. In 2006-07, 2,008 new grants were approved for projects in 124 countries. Program awards were $34.3 million.What happens when we combine the energy, enthusiasm, and passion of our members? The world community pays attention.PolioPlus Rotarians, like Robert Hall from Georgia, USA pictured here, have mobilized by the hundreds of thousands to ensure that children are immunized against this crippling disease and that surveillance is strong, despite the poor infrastructure, extreme poverty, and civil strife of many countries. Since the PolioPlus Programs inception in 1985, more than two billion children have received oral polio vaccine. To date, 210 countries, territories and areas around the world are polio free and 134 of these have been certified. Rotary has committed more than $650 million to global polio eradication. 2006-07 expenditures: $23.7 million. (includes PolioPlus Partners grants)
Net Assets (as of 30 June 2007) = $219.6 millionExpectancies (as of 30 June 2007) = $356.3 millionExpectancies have more than doubled since 30 June 2000 from $123.4 million to $356.3 million on 30 June 2007.Total of Net Assets and Expectancies (as of 30 June 2007) = $575.9 millionEarly in the 2006-07 Rotary year, combined assets and expectancies surpassed the $500 million mark. The next goal is $1 billion by 2025.
Funds used for projects in current year were provided by Rotarians three years ago. Money because of the motivational efforts of predecessor.Responsibility is to provide motivation to district to leave more opportunity for district leadership three years hence.Highlight fact that all funds may not be used.Highlight that all unused DDF will roll forward to the next year so it will be available for immediate use.Highlight that all returned DDF for cancelled projects will become available in the current year for immediate use.Fifty percent (50%) of all contributions come back to your district through District Designated Funds (DDF) in three years to spend on educational and humanitarian programs chosen by us; even grants that may be used for projects in our local community. Through the SHARE system, your contributions to the Foundation help both the locally and globally.
Heres an example:Year 1: Your district raised $100,000 in 2006-07Year 2: $50,000 is available in DDF for programs you select.Year 3: Spending takes place in 2009-10
Programs funded through District Designated Funds include: Matching Grants; District Simplified Grants; Ambassadorial Scholars; Rotary Centers for Intl Studies; additional Group Study Exchanges, University Teacher Grants etc.
The other 50% goes to the World Fund and is used to fund other Foundation programs in which we can participate, such as 3-H Grants, GSE and Matching Grants. (Each district receives one GSE that is funded from the World Fund.) and Volunteer Service Grants.
The Rotary Foundation provides a 1:1 match for District Designated Funds (or SHARE) contributions and a 0.5:1 match for new cash contributions for Matching Grants. And, districts can request up to 20 percent of District Designated Funds (DDF) for a grant to support multiple projects locally or internationally.
Key Points Review Standard District Rotary Foundation Committee StructureThis is the district teamClubs should look to their district to answer TRF questionsUse quick Reference GuideDG and DGE consulted in decision processSo, you may ask, Why the Future Vision Plan? As the Trustees began to prepare for The Rotary Foundations centennial in 2017, it became apparent that the organization needed to pay attention to the delivery of services. One obvious telling point was the immense growth in Matching Grants (1965-2000 = 10,000 grants; 2000-04 = 10,000; 2004-07 = 6,700 grants). Basically, we are victims of our own success! We were drowning in Matching Grant applications and processes. We needed to do something to deliver better services.
The Trustees also saw this as an opportunity to ensure the Foundation would remain relevant in the philanthropic world and meet the needs of the customers of an evolving organization.
You know, Rotarians are not bashful about expressing their opinions when they think things should be changed a bit. We received a lot of feedback from Rotarians about their expectations and level of dissatisfaction with current programs and processes. And, The Rotary Foundation and your Trustees listened!
The Trustees and Board felt that we needed to take actions to be sustainable and significant in our projects, and we needed to simplify our processes as much as possible. In April 2005, the Future Vision Plan of The Rotary Foundation was initiatedour strategic plan for the future.The Rotary Foundation has undertaken several major initiatives to address the worlds needs. Of course, polio eradication, as endorsed by the Council on Legislation, is our organizations number one priority and will remain so until it is eradicated.
Today, I will provide more insight into just one of the initiativesthe Future Vision Planwhich, together with the others, will help The Rotary Foundation be increasingly relevant and progressive.So, what will our new Foundation look like in the future? Here are just a few outcomes we would like to realize in the next eight to ten years
HIGHLIGHT A FEW POINTS ON SLIDEThe Future Vision Committee and Trustees did not develop this plan in a vacuum. We first considered input gathered from surveys of nearly 10,000 Rotarians, focus groups, and senior leader interviews. These results informed the plans priorities and goals.
Change can be difficult to accept, and we recognize that this plan may not satisfy every Rotarian. However, we believe it speaks volumes to the needs and expectations of Rotarians.
The feedback informed the plans prioritiesREFER TO SLIDE POINTS AND SUMMARIZE POINTSEarly in the process, the Trusteesthrough recommendation from the Future Vision Committeeadopted the motto, mission statement, and priorities, which were approved and endorsed by the RI Board and the 2007 Council on Legislation. The Rotary Foundations new motto and mission are:
READ FOR THE AUDIENCE
Note that some words in the mission are underlined. The committee and trustees used these key words as the basis for the Foundations future focus.Based on the principle areas of the mission statement, the four key categories are Goodwill & Peace, Health, Education, and Alleviation of Poverty. Within these principle topics, the Trustees and Board have approved six areas of focus for The Rotary Foundation in the future.
Those areas of focus are{{{{Each of the areas of focus animate after a mouse click}}}}
The Trustees have committed to these areas of focus for at least nine years. The Trustees and Board are encouraging clubs and districts to focus their Foundation efforts in these six areas even before the Future Vision Plan is implemented.The Trustees have approved two grant names: ROTARY FOUNDATION DISTRICT GRANTS and ROTARY FOUNDATION GLOBAL GRANTS.
The distinction between these two types should become apparent here today as we discuss the plan.Now, how do we fund this new grant structure?
First, the current SHARE system will remainAnnual Programs Fund contributions will be split 50/50 between the District Designated Fund (or DDF) and the World Fund. Within the DDF, each district may elect to receive up to 50% of the available DDF for Rotary Foundation District Grants.
The remaining DDF50% or morealong with World Fund, cash flow through contributions, permanent fund earnings, named gifts, and donor advised funds support Rotary Foundation Global Grants. Keep in mind that the current World Fund matching concept so familiar and attractive to Rotarians will remain in the funding model. However, the World Fund match of DDF, cash and DAF will only be available for Global Grants. The Foundation will no longer provide a World Fund match for smaller, less strategic projects and activities.
Additionally, the Trustees approved the concept that packaged grants will be primarily funded from the World Fund. However, clubs and districts may also use DDF and cash to purchase packaged grants.Lets look at Rotary Foundation District Grants in more detail. This grant type allows clubs and districts to support their specific service interests and address immediate needs in their communities and abroad. Modeled after the current District Simplified Grants, district grants are provided as block grants to districts, using District Designated Funds.
Now lets take a look at this diagram of district grants.
The Rotary Foundation, at the districts request, will award a block grant of up to 50 percent of available DDF to the district. The districts then work with Rotary clubs, individuals, other Rotary entities, and cooperating organizations to award funds to conduct projects both locally and internationally.Now, District Grants provide a lot of simplicity, flexibility, and opportunities for innovation. Clubs and their district work together to fund smaller educational and/or humanitarian activities and projects either locally or internationally. The District Simplified Grants model is a great example of how the new District Grants can work. These projects and activities should support the mission of the Rotary Foundation, allowing a broad range of choices for clubs and districts.
District Grants are intended to lessen the bureaucracy and red-tape making it easier for clubs and districts to readily access funds and do the projects and activities they are interested in. The District Grants will require simplified reporting to the Foundation.Rotary Foundation Global Grants will be awarded in the six areas of focus. Designed to support larger projects and activities, these grants offer opportunities to participate in more strategically focused, sustainable activities.
Under this grant type, clubs and districts will select from two options:
1. Club- and district-developed projects will be similar to larger matching grants and 3-H grant projects, GSEs, and ambassadorial scholarships. Both humanitarian and educational activities must meet the minimum award amount ($15,000) and relate to an area of focus to be eligible for global grants. We will discuss the funding model shortly.
2. Packaged grants may be coordinated with a strategic partner. The Foundation will work to provide projects and activities off the shelf that have a standardized approach in creating, implementing, monitoring, and reporting. It is anticipated that packaged grants will be funded entirely by the World Fund or in coordination with the strategic partner. We will discuss this concept further shortly.Again, Global Grants focus on sustainable impacts with long-term effects that meet specific standards of quality and include Rotarian participation. Additionally, Global Grants are attempting to leverage global resources and expertise with strategic partners.
We will talk here shortly about the Future Vision Plans approach to incorporate both educational and humanitarian related projects and activities into the new model. But, the simple response is that all current Foundation activities in some form or fashion can be accomplished in the new plan.
And, lastly, Global Grants will maintain the requirements for host and international partners. The packaged grants will require further study and assessment, but the Trustees intent is to include the international perspective in all Global Grants.To participate in this new grant-structure, districts and clubs must be qualified by the Rotary Foundation. The Foundation is designing a simple process for districts to complete before applying for their first years District and Global Grants. It is anticipated qualification will be renewable every three years. Clubs wishing to participate in Global Grants must also be qualified by their districts.
The purpose of qualification is to ensure that clubs and districts have the legal, financial, and stewardship controls necessary to manage grants in the new structure. This slide summarizes some of the details of the funding characteristics of the new structure.
District Grants, as noted earlier, will be block grants administered by districts, similar to District Simplified Grants, with general guidelines to maintain creativity and accountability at the local levels. The grants will be funded by local contributions and up to 50% of DDF with no monetary limits.
Club & District Developed Global Grants will be larger educational and humanitarian grants in the areas of focus at a minimum World Fund award of US$15,000. The current match concept (1:1 for DDF and .5:1 for cash) will be maintained. Packaged grants being developed are envisioned to be awarded starting at US$50,000.
The Trustees are currently developing streamlined processes for application, monitoring, reporting, and stewardship standards that ensure Foundation funds are properly accounted for. Now, when is this all going to get started? We are currently in a two-year planning and preparation phase to begin awarding grants to pilot clubs and districts on 1 July 2010. During the next two years, the Foundation will promote and communicate the Future Vision Plan to the Rotary world. Updated publications and materials, including this presentation, are currently available on the Rotary International Web site.
The timeline outlined here summarizes the next few years. In the first two years, the Foundation will select, train, and qualify up to 100 districts to participate in the pilot, with significant training and education for DGEs, DRFC Chairs, and RRFCs. In the second half of 2008-09, the Foundation will distribute information to all districts about the plan and how to apply to become a pilot district. In years 1-2-3, the Foundation will award grants to pilot districts and evaluate the successes and challenges of the new structure. The Trustees expect that the pilot will test many of the strategies and assumptions of the plan and necessary adjustments will be made based on pilot districts feedback before the full rollout in 2013-14.Lets discuss the pilot application and training processes. All districts worldwide will be invited to apply. But to have a reasonable group to work with, only 100 districts will be accepted into the pilot phase. This means we will have two Rotary Foundation grant-making models operating at the same time as non-pilot districts will continue using the current Foundation programs until worldwide implementation in 2013-14.
The online pilot district application process will be completed from Feb - June 2009. Two-thirds of the clubs in the district must agree to participate in the pilot, along with the current and next two district governors and the DRFC chair.
The training of the districts will occur within the 2009-10 training cycle, beginning at the 2010 International Assembly. That training will involve DGE, DRFC chairs, and RRFCs to ensure consistency and continuity.Now, how does the Foundation select the pilot districts? Well, there are no minimum requirements to participate as a pilot district. Of course, the Foundation has certain criteria that will be used to evaluate the applications.
The Foundation is looking to select a representative group of districts in terms of grant activity, location, and reporting and stewardship practices. The Foundation will consider districts history of effective elections, appointments, and sound committee structures. The Foundation does not want all super-user districts in the pilot, as this would not adequately test the new structure. However, those districts that are on probation or have been suspended will not be eligible for participation.
Since pilot districts will be required to partner only with other pilot districts for Global Grants, there needs to be a balance of districts in developed and developing regions of the world. During the application process, districts will have the opportunity to identify regions of the world where they would like to work to help ensure proper balance. The Foundation will select districts of varying levels of capacity and in various locations throughout the world.Now, knowing that we will have to operate concurrent Foundation programs, the Trustees recognized the need to phase out some current award types during the pilot. Six current award types will be available only through 2010-11, which will impact non-pilot districts. These six awards are:
Multi-Year Ambassadorial ScholarshipsCultural Ambassadorial ScholarshipsRotary Grants for University Teachers3-H GrantsVolunteer Service GrantsDisaster Recovery Grants
And, the remaining grant types will be phased out after the pilot ends in 2013-14, as all districts begin to use the new grant-making structure. It is anticipated that it will take some time to close out the old grant structure as clubs and districts submit final reports.So why would you want to be a pilot district? The Foundation wants to make it very clear that pilot districts will have both opportunities and challenges.
Opportunities for pilot districts include:Providing input in the refinement of the new structureReceiving more specialized support and service from the FoundationAccessing more funds in the District Grants to use at the districts discretion
However, the Trustees realize the challenges:Districts must commit to the full three years of the pilot. Pilot districts cannot elect to withdraw.Districts must be patient and flexible, as we are sure that unanticipated issues will arise, making it necessary to adjust the rules.Some of the super-user districts may find it challenging because pilot districts will be required to partner only with other pilot districts for club and district developed Global Grants.I appreciate your attention and patience as the Foundation, Trustees, and Future Vision Committee assembled this plan. We recognize we dont have all the details worked through yet. The detail processes to support the plan are still being formulated.
If you have any questions, I will try to answer them. However, please know that more information and details are available through The Rotary Foundation at the noted web site.
Additionally, specific questions about the details of the plan can be sent to [email protected].
The staff at the Foundation can address some of the specifics that we are unable to address here. Thank you again!Id like to close with a few words from a Rotarian from District 5650, in Nebraska, USA.When Mary Garrison commented on why she is a Rotarian, she responded by stating:What an impact this wonderful organization has had on my life! I can hold my head high and say... I helped to eliminate Polio; educate thousands of students; build numerous houses, schools, medical clinics; I am helping promote peace and global understanding. I am doing all of this because I am a Rotarian! I hope you feel proud that you are a Rotarian and you now understand that we need your help to build a solid future for OUR Rotary Foundation.What Rotary can accomplish and how Rotary will be seen and remembered years from now depends on our actions today.
Arch C. Klumph said: No one can tell us what Rotary will be tomorrow, but one thing is certain: what Rotary will be tomorrow depends on what Rotarians do today.Every Rotarian can become a Rotary Foundation Sustaining Member by making one or more Annual Programs Fund gifts totaling at least US$100 each year.Please join ME and Every Rotarian in supporting OUR Rotary Foundation, Every Year.Thank you.
