為回應新的扶輪基金會的獎助金結構,未來願委員會建議一項初步可分配的基金模式,該模式將於10/11月份兩個會議當中,先被基金保管委員會通過並隨後由國際扶輪理事會來加以審查。

In response to the new Rotary Foundation grant structure, the Future Vision Committee recommended a preliminary distributable funds model that was approved by the Foundation Trustees and then reviewed by the RI Board during the October/November meetings of both boards.

在這新的模式下,綜合獎助金將被地區指定用途基金DDF以百分比的方式來撥配。在(2009-12)三年期間試驗階段,地區可運用至多以40%地區指定用途基金DDF來支援小型當地及國際的計劃,如此將使地區有較大之彈性運用。這項百分比將由保管委員會每年來加以審查。分享制度將繼續以目前的方式來運作,就是50%的地區捐獻款給至世界基金(World Fund)50%地區指定用途基金DDF

Under the new model, block grants will be funded by a percentage of District Designated Fund allocations. During the three-year pilot phase (2009-12), districts may use up to 40 percent of their available DDF to support smaller local and international projects, offering districts a great deal of flexibility. This percentage will be reviewed annually by the Trustees. SHARE will continue operating in its current structure, with 50 percent of district contributions going to the World Fund and 50 percent to DDF.

扶輪社及地區所設計在重點範圍內的之獎助金(由扶輪社員所找出的世界優先之需求,由基金會引用其資源將會有種持續性及可衡量之影響力,而該影響力是由該組織機構之財務及義工資源的槓杆作用而來的)將藉由一種配合地區指定用途基金DDF之世界基金的支持。由基金會及其策略合作關係或其他策略合作關係SCRs (該機構專門從事於策略性重點範圍中之一,並要與基金會建立一種關係)所資助之獎助金,將由世界基金、基金會盈利收入、策略合作關係SCRs的捐獻、以及其他未來願委員會及保管委員正進一步研究的資源。保管委員會展望該基金會-SCR之聯合獎助金在達到持續的結果這方面將是最有效及策略性運用基金會的資源。就其本身而言,這些獎助金將由完全由世界基金透過有競爭的程序來加以資助而不需要由扶輪社及地區的財務來支援。

Club- and district-designed grants in the areas of focus (priority world needs identified by Rotarians in which the Foundation is directing its resources to have a sustainable and measurable impact that leverages the organization's financial and volunteer resources) are expected to be supported by a World Fund match of DDF. Grants offered by the Foundation and its strategic cooperative relationships, or SCRs (organizations that specialize in one of the strategic areas of focus and have an established relationship with the Foundation), will be supported by the World Fund, Foundation-earned income, contributions from SCRs, and other sources being studied further by the Future Vision Committee and Trustees. The Trustees envision the joint Foundation-SCR grants as the most effective and strategic use of Foundation resources in achieving sustainable outcomes. As such, these grants would be funded completely by the World Fund through a competitive process that does not require club and district financial support.

這種模式將大為簡化我們目前資助的機制,同時給地區在使用其捐款時有較佳的通路及彈性,保管委員朗布頓說。引用策略合作關係,我們將增加在我們的重點範圍內大型計劃可使用基金的程度,同時可繼續提共一種讓扶輪社及地區在其有意的服務方面能完全地運用更多的資源的選擇。

"This model greatly simplifies our current funding mechanism and gives districts better access and flexibility in using their contributions," said Trustee Ron Burton. "With strategic cooperative relationships, we also increase the level of funding available for large-scale projects in our areas of focus and continue to provide a choice to clubs and districts in their service interests with more resources at their fingertips."
