Set goals and budgets
A fter a project has been selected, it’s time to start planning. A good project plan will
help your club manage its resources effectively, anticipate potential problems, and
evaluate a project’s success.
Establish a service projects committee
For most clubs, the first step in planning a project is to set up a service projects
committee, one of the five standing committees recommended in the Club Leadership
Plan. It oversees all the club’s service projects from start to finish and is responsible
for motivating club members and finding new service opportunities.
Create project goals and a work plan
Clear goals are important for organizing a project, defining its scope, and measuring
success. After setting goals, create a work plan based on them. Work plans are simple
schedules documenting each task involved in reaching the project’s objectives.
Develop a budget
Realistic financial expectations, outlined in a detailed budget, will lessen the chances
of unforeseen costs arising as the project progresses. Base the budget on your work
plan, and aim for transparency in all aspects of your planning. A good budget not only
helps clubs efficiently manage project resources but also builds community support
and protects resources from misuse. Remember when budgeting for travel that Rotary
and United Airlines can help you collect miles for your humanitarian project trips.
Make a project liability and protection plan
How would your club react if an accident occurred during a service project? Does it
have a plan to deal with emergencies? Is it protected legally? As your club plans a
service project, think carefully about how you can take measures to protect the club
and project participants.
The Rotary U.S. Club and District General Liability Insurance program provides
coverage for active clubs and districts.
