扶輪基金計劃是幫助全球兒童實現他們的夢想。
|
Foundation programs help children around the
world achieve their dreams.
|
|
在扶輪基金會及國際扶輪理事會，在其10月及11月的會議中核准了獎助金之結構及策略合作關係模式以及初步可分配基金模式。所有這些將形成扶輪基金會之未來願憬計劃的核心。
|
At their October/November meetings, The Rotary
Foundation Trustees and the RI Board approved
the grant structure and strategic cooperative
relationships models and a preliminary
distributable funds model, all of which form the
core of the Foundation’s Future Vision Plan.
|

反映出由基層社員、資深領導人及外面顧問群之心聲，這項新模式將會簡化扶輪基金的計劃，並專注於社員服務努力2
的成果，在那裏他們將獲得最大的影響力。由於為要在2012-13年度全面實施之目標，該計劃將提供計劃選項，它們被設計去達成全球及當地目標，並轉移更多決定權予地區以增進基層的歸屬感。
|
Reflecting input from grassroots Rotarians,
senior leaders, and outside consultants, the new
models simplify Foundation programs and focus
Rotarian service efforts where they will have
the greatest impact. With a goal of full
implementation by 2012-13, the plan provides
program options designed to achieve both global
and local goals and increase the sense of
ownership at the grassroots level by
transferring more decisions to the districts.

新獎助金模式將提供二種類型的獎助金，第一類之獎助金將容許社員有更大的彈性去使用基金，以支援其廣泛服務的興趣及致力於其社區立既的需求。第二類之獎助金提供機會給社員參與重點及持續的活動並可獲得扶輪基金會及合作關係之支援以使該計劃得以成功及持久。
|
The new grant model offers two types of grants.
The first type allows Rotarians greater
flexibility to use funds to support their broad
service interests and address immediate needs in
their communities. The second type offers
opportunities to participate in focused and
sustainable activities with greater support from
the Foundation and cooperative relationships to
make the projects more successful and
sustainable.
|
|
|
第一類型是給地區的綜合獎助金，這些獎助金將是以現行的地區簡易獎助金計劃為模型演進而來的，它將容許地區及扶輪社有更大彈性來完成其當地及國際計劃。地區將至多能以40%的指定用途基金DDF來支持這些獎助金。
|
The first type are block grants to districts,
modeled after the current District Simplified
Grants program, that will allow clubs and
districts greater flexibility in carrying out
local and international projects. Districts will
be able to use up to 40 percent of their
District Designated Fund to support these
grants.
|
|
|
第二類將資助在3-5項策略性重點範圍內更大、更持續性的計劃(基金保管委員會，將根據目前基金會計劃中，扶輪社員所顯示出的興趣及經驗而於其四月份的會議中決定這些範圍)。在這個模式下，扶輪社及地區將有兩種選項：扶輪社及地區指定之計劃以及策略合作關係組織機構之事前包裹式計劃。這些獎助金將增加資助之機會及支持之成果，因此將為扶輪基金會獲得更多的聲譽。
|
The second type will fund larger, more
sustainable projects in one of the three to five
strategic areas of focus (the Trustees will
determine these areas at their April 2008
meeting, based on demonstrated Rotarian interest
and experience in current Foundation programs).
Under this model, clubs and districts will
select from two options: club- and
district-designed projects and prepackaged
projects with strategic cooperative relationship
organizations. These grants will enhance funding
opportunities and support efforts that will gain
more prominence for the Foundation.

|
未來願憬計劃將被執行於確認該過渡性草案的階段，該草案將于2008年4月定案。在2008-09年度保管委員會將挑選出大約60個依地理上分佈的地區來參與一個2009到2012年實施的試驗計劃。至於剩下的地區仍沿用目前的計劃及獎助金的程序。
|
The Future Vision Plan will be implemented in
stages as identified in the draft transition
plan that will be finalized in April 2008. In
2008-09, the Trustees will select approximately
60 geographically dispersed districts to
participate in a pilot program for 2009-12. The
remaining districts will continue to use the
current programs and grants processes.
|
|
|
扶輪基金保管委員會主委羅勃•司考特表達他對新模式的支持，他稱讚在這未來願憬服務計劃內會更策略性的邁向較具體的服務。“對於每個人的每件事已經讓扶輪基金會努力去瞭解到它的使命。而該新的結構會讓我們去建構於我們的實力與瞭解到更多能維持的後果之上。”
羅勃•司考特說。
|
In expressing his support for the new models,
Foundation Trustee Chair Robert S. Scott
applauded the more strategic approach to service
embodied in the Future Vision Plan. “Being
everything to everyone has left the Foundation
struggling to realize its mission. The new
structure allows us to build on our strengths
and realize more sustainable outcomes,” Scott
said.
|
|
|
“扶輪社員需要一個較簡單，更易接近的基金會，而它可以充分利用我們的資源，”前國際扶輪社長及未來願憬委員會主委路易斯•季愛雅說。“而我們扶輪基金會新的模式都將符合已制定的“五大考驗”的標準：1)簡單，2)成本效益，3)顯著的社員參與，4)有一定水平之成果，及5)與基金會的使命一致。在2017年我們準備慶祝基金會第一世紀時，我們是於我們的基金會逐步地轉型中。”
|
“Rotarians have demanded a simpler, more
accessible Foundation that makes better use of
our resources,” said Past RI President and
Future Vision Committee Chair Luis V. Giay. “Our
new models for The Rotary Foundation all meet
the established criteria of a ‘five-way test’:
They are 1) simple, 2) cost effective, 3)
require significant Rotarian involvement, 4)
have sustainable outcomes, and 5) are consistent
with the Foundation’s mission. We are in the
process of gradually transforming our Foundation
as we prepare to celebrate its first century in
2017.”
