The Rotary Foundation’s Future Vision Plan Preparing for the Foundation’s Second Century of Service DRFC Travis White

TRF’S Future Vision Plan Approaching 100 th anniversary of TRF, trustees sought to develop a plan to make TRF more relevant - Only slight modification to programs since inception. Trustees sought input from a wide variety of stakeholders. Plan updates mission and creates more effective ways to help Rotarians develop diverse projects with greater impact and sustainable outcomes.

TRF Future Vision Plan Designed To: Simplify TRF programs and processes consistent with the mission. Focus service efforts where they will have greatest impact by addressing priority world needs that are relevant to Rotarians. Offer program options to help achieve both global and local needs. Increase sense of ownership by transferring more decisions to district. Gain greater understanding of TRF’s work and enhance Rotary’s public image.

The Rotary Foundation Motto & Mission Motto: Doing Good in the World Mission: …to enable Rotarians to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through the improvement of health, the support of education, and the alleviation of poverty
