The Rotary Foundation is a not-for-profit corporation that supports the efforts of Rotary International to achieve world understanding and peace through international humanitarian, educational, and cultural exchange programs. It is supported solely by voluntary contributions from Rotarians and friends of the Foundation who share its vision of a better world. Look at the foundation from a new angle. The foundation is seen differently in this updated presentation. How the foundation transforms gift to service?

GROWTH OF THE FOUNDATION
The first donation of $26.50 was given in 1917.
In 1929, the Foundation made its first gift of $500 to the
International Society for Crippled Children.
When Rotary founder Paul Harris died in 1947,
contributions began pouring in to Rotary International,
and the Paul Harris Memorial Fund was created to build
the Foundation.
Since the first donation of $26.50 in 1917, the
Foundation has received contributions totaling more
than $1 billion in 2013.

48. Why did TRF change the grant model?
• Use TRF limited resources more effectively.
• In 2007, the Foundation spent 20 percent of its program
budget on long-term activities with high impact, and 80
percent on short-term activities with minimal impact.
• The new grant model will reverse that: 80 percent of the
program budget will support high-impact, sustainable
projects.
• The new grant model will also help meet the priorities
and goals of Rotary's strategic plan 6AoF.
• Increase Districts’ accountability & responsibilities.

Notes de l'éditeur
The charitable arm of Rotary= la branche caritative du Rotary, Qui aide les plus démunis
Charity=the attitude of kindness and understanding towards others
In the dictionary, the words "convert" and "transform" both have the meaning of changing the form of something.

A Service is a set of actions or solutions that are put in place or are performed to provide a repeatable and consistent set of outcomes, deliverables, and performance for people, organizations, and systems that represent consumers or beneficiaries of such results.
Services can be delivered through voluntary means, such as in the case of the giving of people's time to serve in the military or to provide charitable actions, or services can be for payment, such as in the case of professionals who provide work for profit.
Services can be executed or delivered either directly by people, such as in the case of professional services, or by systems, such as in the case of utilities.
Un service est un ensemble d'actions ou des solutions qui sont mises en place ou sont effectués pour fournir un ensemble cohérent et reproductible des résultats, les résultats attendus, et les performances des personnes, des organisations et des systèmes qui représentent les consommateurs ou les bénéficiaires de ces résultats.
Les services peuvent être fournis par des moyens volontaires, comme dans le cas du don de temps aux gens pour servir dans l'armée ou de fournir des actions caritatives ou services peuvent être de paiement, comme dans le cas des professionnels qui fournissent du travail à but lucratif.
Les services peuvent être exécutées ou livrées directement par les gens, comme dans le cas des services professionnels, ou par des systèmes, comme dans le cas des services.

TRF Goals for a new year 2014 2015
It is an honor and a privilege to serve this Rotary year as chair of our Rotary Foundation. And we should be proud to call it our Foundation, for each day millions of people are touched by the magic of Rotary – made possible only by the service and dedication of Rotarians throughout the world.
Our Foundation is the engine that drives the Rotary machine. It gives us the chance to see and fulfill the opportunities for service both within our community and internationally.
Your Foundation Trustees have set five goals for the year.-The first goal is the eradication of the poliovirus from the face of the earth. We have much to be proud of in our efforts to rid the world of this dreaded disease, but we must finish the job. We cannot let up in our efforts. We cannot undo all the good work that has been done in the past.-Our second goal is to continue to support Rotary's own charity, The Rotary Foundation, through our contributions. The good that we do is limited only by what we receive. Let us ensure that clubs who have made no contributions to our Foundation do so this year.-Our third goal is to ensure the progress of our new grants program by participating in sustainable educational and humanitarian projects.-Our fourth goal is to foster goodwill and peace by promoting and publicizing the Rotary Peace Centers program, whose purpose is to create a cadre of individuals dedicated to peace and conflict resolution.-Our fifth goal is to emphasise that the responsibility for the future of our Foundation is in all our hands so that we can continue doing good in the world as we endeavor to Light Up Rotary.I look forward to your support.John KennyFoundation Trustee Chair

Polio eradication is Rotary’s top philanthropic priority.
-When Rotary launched the PolioPlus program in 1985, there were more than 350,000 polio cases in over 125 countries.
-Since 1988, when Rotary began working with its partners in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative to immunize more than 2 billion children, the incidence of polio has decreased 99 percent.
-As of 2014, Rotary’s contributions to the global polio eradication effort totaled $1.3 billion.

ADVOCATE مدافعا : ADVOCACY: تأييد public support for or recommendation of a particular cause or policy.
The fight to end polio is a massive effort that Rotary and its partners cannot do alone. Help secure support from governments, non-governmental organizations, corporations and the public. Your advocacy efforts help ensure that no child will suffer from this crippling disease ever again.
FUNDRAISE
Rotary and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation have extended their partnership during the critical endgame phase of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative. From 2013 to 2018, every US dollar Rotary commits to polio eradication will instantly become three dollars, thanks to a 2-to-1 match by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Join Rotary in the final push to end polio and help make history today.
EDUCATE
Send a letter to the editor. Suggest a polio eradication story to a local reporter. Share Rotary infographics to raise awareness about polio eradication.

Top Three Partnering Needs
1. Worldwide Polio Eradication.
2. Fight against HIV/AIDS.
3. Eradication of Disease and Poverty.
The Foundation recognized the need to use its limited resources more effectively.
In 2007, the Foundation spent 20 percent of its program budget on long-term activities with high impact, and 80 percent on short-term activities with minimal impact.
The new grant model will reverse that: 80 percent of the program budget will support high-impact, sustainable projects.
The new grant model will also help meet the priorities and goals of Rotary's strategic plan .
Charity Navigator is a national service.
We seek to help as many givers as possible, regardless of where they live or what kind of charity they wish to support. We celebrate and evaluate charities of all types, in all regions of the country, and whose work impacts all corners of the globe.
Because we aim to help givers and to celebrate charities nationwide, we use the following guidelines for choosing which charities to evaluate.

District grants are block grants that enable clubs and districts to
address immediate needs in their communities and abroad. Districts
may request up to 50 percent of their District Designated Fund for
one grant annually (see Annual Fund-SHARE on page 13). Districts
manage and disburse these funds to support district- and clubsponsored
activities, including vocational training teams, scholarships,
humanitarian service projects, and cultural exchanges, provided they
are aligned with the Foundation’s mission.
Process
District grants are block grants that are administered by the district. Clubs submit funding requests to the district for specific projects and activities including local or international service projects, volunteer service travel, disaster recovery, scholarships, and/or vocational training.
The district governor, district Rotary Foundation committee chair, and district grants subcommittee chair work together to create the district grant spending plan, which is submitted online and must be authorized by all three officers.
Rotary Foundation staff review the application to ensure that all proposed activities align with TRF’s mission.
Once the spending plan is approved, funds are issued. Districts are encouraged to apply before the start of the Rotary year, so that payment can be made immediately at the beginning of the year. Districts receive one block payment for the approved amount of the district grant and then distribute money to their clubs.
Funding
Districts may request up to 50 percent of their District Designated Fund (DDF) for use in district grant activities. This percentage is calculated based on the amount of DDF generated from a district’s Annual Programs Fund giving three years prior, including Permanent Fund SHARE earnings.
Process
Global grant applications are accepted on a rolling basis throughout the year. These grants fund larger projects and activities with sustainable, high-impact outcomes in the areas of focus corresponding to the Foundation’s mission.
Clubs and districts should take time to create a project that includes a community assessment, strong partnership, and a detailed implementation plan with measurable, achievable goals.
After a specific community issue or need has been chosen, the next step is to establish a sustainable project plan. This planning phase includes determining which area of focus and activity type the project corresponds with. Global grants can fund humanitarian projects, scholarships, and/or vocational training teams.
Once the planning phase is complete, project sponsors will complete an application readiness check in the online system. This step will provide information and resources and will allow the sponsors to determine if they have completed all of the necessary steps to move on to the application.
Upon receipt of the application, the Foundation will review the application for eligibility and completeness. Once all requirements have been met for the global grant, payment will be issued.
Once grant funds are received, it is important for clubs and districts to follow their implementation plan and periodically review the plan to facilitate modifications and revisions throughout the life of the grant. Clubs and districts will also need to evaluate their project during implementation and after completion.
Funding
Global grants offer a minimum World Fund award of US$15,000 for a minimum project budget of $30,000. The World Fund award is based on a 100 percent match of District Designated Fund allocations or a 50 percent match of cash contributions. The contributions provided by the clubs and districts in addition to the Rotary Foundation’s match make up the total project funding for a global grant.
DISTRICTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO DEVELOP THEIR OWN CRITERIA AND ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES FOR VOCATIONAL TRAINING TEAMS AND SCHOLARS THEY PLAN TO SUPPORT WITH THEIR DISTRICT GRANT FUNDS.
1/ DISTRICT GRANT SCHOLARSHIPS
Future Vision offers maximum flexibility in funding scholars.
Districts can determine the types of scholars they wish to sponsor using funds from a district grant.
These could include:
Undergraduate or graduate students studying locally, any subject matter
Undergraduate or graduate students studying abroad, any subject matter
Study periods of any length (language training, a certificate program, a semester, a year or more)
The district leadership should determine its own preferences, applications, and timetables for district
grant-funded scholars. Your Future Vision coordinator at the Foundation is always available to help, and can provide examples of how other districts have organized their district grant scholarship process.
2/ GLOBAL GRANTS:
Rotary Foundation Global Grants support large international activities with sustainable high-impact outcomes in one or more of the six areas of focus and have a long-term impact.
Scholarship applications will be reviewed by an area of focus expert as needed. (October 2012 Trustees Mtg., Dec. 8)
