Add your project to Rotary Showcase
Want to share your club’s service project with the world? Start some virtual buzz with Rotary Showcase, a new social media-inspired application unveiled at the RI Convention in Bangkok. The application allows members of the Rotary family to post club or district service project information -- including a description, photos, and video -- and then publicize it through social media such as Facebook and Twitter. Rotary Showcase helps Rotarians promote their service initiatives to potential partners, prospective members, and supporters both within and outside of Rotary. Users can also track information such as the amount of funds raised, value of in-kind donations, number of volunteers, and total volunteer hours contributed. By gathering this data, RI can better measure and promote Rotary’s global impact.
Sample monitoring and evaluation plan
One of the requirements for global grant activities is producing measurable outcomes. The Global Grant Monitoring and Evaluation Toolkit offers Rotarians guidance on setting project goals and measuring results. The Rotary clubs of Victoria Garden City in District 9110 (Nigeria) and Marietta in District 6900 (Georgia, USA) used the toolkit to monitor and evaluate their global grant project to provide potable water for a three-school complex in Nigeria. View their plan.
Available packaged grants
Packaged global grants provide opportunities for Rotary clubs in pilot districts to work with The Rotary Foundation’s strategic partners on predesigned projects and activities funded entirely by the World Fund. A limited number of packaged grants are awarded on a first come, first served basis. The following packaged grants are available:
Qualification Tip
Districts must conduct an annual assessment of their financial management plans. Reviewing the plan and its implementation ensures that proper controls are in place to manage grant funds. The district must present the results to clubs within three months of the end of the Rotary year.
