Editor's Notes
ZACHOS, IPDG / TRF - FV - PILOT Dear Brothers & Sisters, Serbian Rotarians, Almost twenty months have passed since the first moment when all of us together heard the new words in the Rotary terminology: Future Vision, Pilot, Global Grants, etc... This happened in February 2010, exactly here, in our beloved city of Novi Sad, during the period 10-11 PETS for the Serbian part of our ex-multinational District 2481. Within this entire duration, all of us tried hard to understand the meaning of this significant and important development of our organization, and also, we worked in order to adopt the new model in practice and to put it in our regular everyday Rotary life. In general, we succeded in most of the TRF fields, although there are some options and issues where some improvements are still required. Of course this is the meaning of the pilot model for TRF: to use propely the experiences of all of us while working with the new system, in order to develop the rules and methods before the adoption of this new model by the entire Rotary world in all over the Globe. This is also the importance of current Presentation: to overview the pilot model's progress during the first year of its use by the Rotarians in practice. Let's go back, starting from the first Future Vision moment...
ZACHOS, IPDG / TRF - FV - PILOT As the Trustees began to prepare for The Rotary Foundation’s centennial in 2017, it became apparent that the organization needed to pay attention to the delivery of services. We have seen an immense growth in the work of The Rotary Foundation, particularly in the area of humanitarian grants. The Matching Grants program began in 1965. In the first 35 years of the program, that is from 1965 until 2000, the first 10,000 Matching Grants were awarded. It only took four more years to award the second 10,000 Matching Grants. The Rotary Foundation became a victim of its own success! The Foundation was not designed to support this kind of exponential growth, and the Trustees knew that they would have to do something. So the Trustees saw this as an opportunity to ensure that the Foundation would remain relevant in the philanthropic world and meet the needs of Rotarians in this evolving organization. The Trustees and Board felt that we needed to take actions to be sustainable and significant in our projects, and we needed to simplify the programs of the Foundation as much as possible. In February 2005, based on feedback from Rotarians worldwide, the Future Vision Plan of The Rotary Foundation was initiated by the Trustees. This is our strategic plan for the future.
ZACHOS, IPDG / TRF - FV - PILOT Early in the process, the Trustees adopted the motto, mission statement and priorities of the Future Vision Plan, which were approved and endorsed by the Rotary International Board of Directors and the 2007 Council on Legislation. The motto for the Rotary Foundation is “Doing good in the world,” the famous words of past president Arch Klumph from 1917. The mission of The Rotary Foundation is to enable Rotarians to advance world understanding, goodwill and peace, through the improvement of health, the support of education and the alleviation of poverty. Based upon the principle areas of the mission statement the Trustees of The Rotary Foundation and the Board of Directors of Rotary International have approved six areas of focus for The Rotary Foundation in the future .
ZACHOS, IPDG / TRF - FV - PILOT Based on feedback from thousands of Rotarians around the world who participated in surveys and focus groups, the Future Vision Plan was developed with the following goals: Simplify programs and processes Focus Rotarian service efforts to increase global impact Support global and local efforts Increase a sense of ownership at the district and club levels Enhance Rotary’s public image
ZACHOS, IPDG / TRF - FV - PILOT To test this new plan, the Foundation is running a 3-year pilot which includes participation from 100 of 530 Rotary districts. During the pilot, the Foundation will be working to evaluate the Future Vision plan and make adjustments as necessary before full world roll-out in 2013-14.
ZACHOS, IPDG / TRF - FV - PILOT The Trustees of The Rotary Foundation have identified six areas of focus for the new grant structure. These areas reflect critical humanitarian issues and needs that Rotarians are already addressing worldwide. They will align Rotary with other international development efforts and will strategically further the Foundation's mission. Each of the areas has specific goals associated with the area. The Trustees have committed to these areas of focus for at least nine years. In fact, the Trustees are encouraging nonpilot clubs and districts to focus their current Foundation program activity in these six areas even before the Future Vision Plan is rolled out to the entire Rotary world. To simplify the grant-making process, the Future Vision Plan offers only two types of grants: Rotary Foundation District Grants and Rotary Foundation Global Grants. The new grant model of the Future Vision Plan optimizes contributions to our Foundation by helping clubs and districts use Foundation funds for greater impact, greater flexibility, and greater sustainability. To participate in this new grant-structure, districts and clubs must be qualified by The Rotary Foundation. The Foundation has designed a simple process for districts to complete before applying for their first year’s district and global grants. Qualification will be renewable every three years. Clubs who wish to participate in global grants will also need to be qualified by their districts. We’re not talking about a complicated process; we’re talking about each district in the world meeting a certain minimum standard in terms of agreement of the clubs to participate, in terms of training district leaders, and having the established committees and processes in place to ensure the effective implementation of projects and activities of The Rotary Foundation.

ZACHOS, IPDG / TRF - FV - PILOT In closing, I would like to highlight the top five things every Rotarian should know about the Future Vision Plan. 1) Future Vision simplifies the grant-making process and directs resources to high-impact projects with sustainable outcomes that will command public recognition. The plan will enable the Foundation to respond effectively and strategically to the world’s most urgent needs. 2) Future Vision supports Rotarian-identified needs within communities. It represents a philosophical shift away from a program-focused model. The new grant-making model is more flexible and has fewer restrictions, allowing for greater Rotarian innovation. 3) Future Vision is not just for districts. Club- and district-developed global grants offer clubs great flexibility in designing new projects and activities. Packaged global grants will also be available to clubs to carry out projects. Clubs can also work with their districts to take advantage of district grant funds. 4) Future Vision is great for scholarships and offers many options for funding scholars. Clubs and districts can fund students locally and abroad, fund degree programs, and allow students to choose their schools. The shortened timetable for applications will enable Rotarians to better meet scholars’ financial needs. 5) Future Vision uses an online application process. This takes advantage of current technology and eliminates the need for paper applications. Rotarians will be able to submit grant information and signatures electronically, greatly reducing application processing times.
ZACHOS, IPDG / TRF - FV - PILOT There are many reference materials to assist pilot clubs and districts in being successful in this new grant structure. Here are the top three resources to turn to for information, assistance and guidance. All of the most current and up to date Future Vision training materials are available on the RI website. On the Web site you can sign up to receive Future Vision Pilot News. This is a monthly e-newsletter that helps pilot clubs and districts prepare and plan for the pilot’s implementation by connecting you to new online Future Vision resources and information and reminding you of upcoming Future Vision pilot deadlines. Future Vision e-learning modules provide the opportunity for independent learning in an engaging format. The Terms and Conditions for Rotary Foundation District Grants and Global Grants provides the framework and guidelines of both types of grants and the pilot. New information and documents will be added regularly. If you can’t find the information you are looking for there, please contact the Future Vision Pilot Operations staff member associated with your district. The staff contact sheet is posted on the RI website. Your district leadership is there to help guide you through the process of preparing, and planning for your service projects.
ZACHOS, IPDG / TRF - FV - PILOT I remain also available anytime for each one of you to contact me directly, either in person or as an entity, either officialy or informally. And I'll be for ever, as – keeping my promose - I continue to consider myself a member of the Serbian Rotary, and it is a lifetime commitment for me! Many thanks for your patience, attention and time; have all of you a safe travel back to your home!
