TRF of RI - "Future Vision Plan" refined

At their October meeting, The Rotary Foundation Trustees took significant steps to refine the Future Vision Plan before the pilot application period begins in January. Reflecting the plan’s goal of simplification and flexibility, their decisions establish specific policies that fill in the broad outline of the plan.

Future Vision Plan overview - In anticipation of The Rotary Foundation’s 100-year anniversary in 2017, the Trustees set out to develop a plan to move the Foundation toward its second century of service. The plan updates the Foundation’s mission and creates a more effective and efficient way to help Rotarians develop diverse projects with greater impact and sustainable outcomes.

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".
The Foundation's new mission, along with its new motto "Doing Good in the World" were approved by the Foundation Trustees and the RI Board and endorsed by the Council on Legislation.

Future Vision Plan is designed to:
* Simplify Foundation programs and processes consistent with the mission
* Focus Rotarian service efforts where they will have the greatest impact by addressing priority world needs that are relevant to Rotarians
* Offer program options to help achieve both global and local goals
* Increase the sense of ownership at the district and club levels by transferring more decisions to the districts
* Gain greater understanding of The Rotary Foundation’s work and enhance Rotary’s public image
