The Trustees have taken significant steps in reviewing the current programs and operations of our Foundation and envisioning its potential in our second century of service. We will be celebrating our 100th anniversary of the Foundation in the next decade, and we continually strive to improve our Foundation—making it stronger, more prominent, and more accessible. The new grant structure of the new Future Vision Plan attempts to optimize contributions to our Foundation so that clubs and districts can maximize the use of funds for greater impact, greater flexibility, and greater sustainability in their work. The Foundation has listened to Rotarians’ concerns and formulated this strategy based on this feedback.
