Rotary's Areas of Focus include Peace and Conflict Prevention, Disease Prevention and Treatment, Water and Sanitation, Maternal and Child Health, Basic Education and Literacy, and Economic and Community Development. The document provides examples of projects and needs in each area, as well as suggestions for what individuals and clubs can do to get involved. It also summarizes Rotary's Future Vision plan, which streamlined grant types and focused resources on larger, more sustainable projects aligned with the six areas of focus.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

16. FUTURE VISION
BACKGROUND
• 1917: The Rotary Foundation was created with one simple
goal – “To do good in the world.”
• 1947: The Foundation awarded its first grants in the form
of ambassadorial scholarships to 18 Rotary Fellows
• 1965: TRF launched Global Study Exchange (GSE) and
Matching Grant programs to focus on international
humanitarian, vocational, and cultural efforts of
Rotarians. By initial design, Matching Grants were
intended to support relatively small, one-time projects.
• By 2004, the Foundation was making more than 4,000
grants per year, with matching grants growing at an
unsustainable rate.
17. FUTURE VISION
BACKGROUND
We were still “doing good in the world,” but…
• The Foundation’s grant business had become a confusing and
frustrating maze, inefficient, and expensive to operate, with a
dozen different grants, each with their own rules, funding, and
processes.
• In 2005-06, TRF was using only 20% of its program awards to
fund grants with clearly defined high-impact, sustainable
activities. The rest – the other 80% of the grant projects – were
not quite hitting the target. Many of them met real needs, but
they had limited, short-lived impact.
• Was our Foundation getting the greatest return on donors’
investments?
• The Foundation had to look at new ways of doing good in the
world.
18. AND SO, FUTURE VISION WAS BORN
MANY ROTARY GROUPS PARTICIPATED
IN DEVELOPING IT
19. THE GOALS OF
FUTURE VISION
• Simplify and streamline TRF’s grant activities
and their rules and processes
• Create bigger projects that have lasting,
sustainable impacts, help more people, and
provide greater support for Rotary’s public
image
• Empower Rotarians by giving them greater
flexibility in their grant activities
• Align and focus Rotarian service efforts within
the six Areas of Focus
20. FUTURE VISION:
TYPES OF GRANTS
• To make the system easier to use, the number of
grant types have been reduced from 12 to 3:
1. District grants
2. Global grants
3. Packaged grants
• These are in addition to PolioPlus and Rotary Peace
Centers programs, which are still top priorities for
TRF and will continue as currently structured
21. FUTURE VISION:
DISTRICT GRANTS
• District grants are issued annually in a lump sum to the
district, based on submission of simple spending plan
• They offer flexibility because:
• They support short-term activities that can be either
local or international
• The projects they fund must align with the
Foundation’s mission but don’t have to conform to the
six Areas of Focus
• They can include cultural and fellowship exchanges
by individuals and groups similar to a traditional
group study exchange
22. FUTURE VISION:
GLOBAL GRANTS
• Global grants were designed to focus the majority of TRF
resources on larger, more sustainable projects that fall
within the six Areas of Focus
• Global grants are supported by a minimum match
from the World Fund of US$15,000, which means that
the minimum project cost is US$30,000
• Global grants are international, requiring a
partnership between a host club or a district and at
least one club or district across borders
• Global grants must be sustainable, which means they
are designed and implemented so that the benefiting
community can maintain long-term solutions to
community needs after grant funding ends
23. FUTURE VISION:
PACKAGEDGRANTS
• Packaged grants build on Rotary’s tradition of
partnering with other organizations to pool
resources and expertise in order to achieve greater
impact
• Packaged grant projects:
• Are planned and implemented by Rotarians
• Require no financial commitment by the project
sponsors
• Provide a way for small clubs with limited
resources to become involved with the
Foundation
