Notes de l'éditeur
- Conduct a thorough assessment of community needs and strengths. Ask people what they have, how what they have can be better, or what they need in order to have better lives. If there’s a thorough understanding of community needs, the rest of the application comes much more naturally. Try to start the project with the beneficiaries rather than plan the project and then take it to the local community. Focus on a need that is local to you and your club if you can.
- Review the Areas of Focus policy statements. Based on needs assessment, identify just one (or only the most appropriate) area of focus. Avoid taking a “fully-baked” project and fitting it into one of the areas of focus. Change the approach to project design. Work and think through the policy statements before designing projects. All project activities should relate directly to the area of focus goals.
- Provide a detailed project implementation plan that encompasses all aspects of the proposed project activity. Ensure that beneficiaries were involved in project design.
- Provide a detailed listing of the specific tasks that both the host and international Rotarians will carry out in conjunction with the project
- Provide a detailed budget with vendor information and information about how these vendors were selected
- Clearly explain specific sustainability components.
- Include detailed information for each training opportunity presented in application and include: frequency, curricula, exact beneficiaries, if training will be tailored for adults/children, who will be doing what for the training (coop org?). Basically, drilling home that just putting in ‘training will be done’ or “training to be TBD” is not sufficient for eligibility. Do not answer “not applicable” to this question. Training is applicable to all global grants.
- Include MOUs for each cooperating organization.
- Include specific information related to measurement and evaluation
