Subject: UPDATE ON CLUB QUALIFICATION FOR THE FIRST HALF YEAR 2020-2021
Dear Rotarians,
Receive seasonal greetings and best wishes for the new year ahead!
Together we have done amazing things for ourselves and the communities we serve albeit the "difficult year" 2020 has been.
As our vision statement guides, every year Rotarians serve communities around the world through thoughtfully planned sustainable projects. Grant funds help Rotarians to support these projects, and are regulated through club qualification.
Qualification is the process by which your club ensures that it has the necessary financial and stewardship controls in place to manage grant funds. Any club that wishes to be the primary sponsor of a global grant must be qualified. Our District also requires that clubs be qualified in order to receive district grant funds. Of course there are so many other benefits clubs get from qualification including but not limited to; enhanced public image, improved member satisfaction and corporate governance.
Without qualification of clubs though, the Rotary Foundation can not deliver on its mission of enabling Rotarians to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through the improvement of health, the support of education, and the alleviation of poverty. It is critical that through Qualification, Rotary clubs use Rotary grants to create lasting change across the globe, in their communities and within ourselves.
Similar to how Rotarians contribute their skills, expertise, and resources to help solve some of the world’s toughest problems, every individual club member must participate in the qualification process by; being in good standing, ensuring representation at the District grants training seminar and supporting proper stewardship as well as accountability for all resources under their club's watch among other requirements.
Qualification is a revolving process that your club must undertake annually. It seeks to ensure compliance with Rotary Foundation policies, to avoid misuse and mismanagement of grant funds, and ensure that club members have the appropriate training and resources. Clubs that fail to comply risk losing the ability to participate in the Foundation grants programs thus failing to do good in the World.
But like most good things, qualification for grants doesn't come easily. Just like a loan involves more risk for the lender, resulting in stricter eligibility requirements, the qualification process too does as the Rotary Foundation seeks to protect grant funds. While many clubs want to obtain a global grant, they may be unsure if they meet the requirements. There are only three requirements; Planning, Qualification and Application for the grant. While these may appear difficult, securing initial qualification guarantees a series of future events.
Our Rotary International President Holger Knaac emphasizes that; "By completing the annual qualification process, Rotarians will have all the latest information on how best to plan successful, sustainable projects and also learn more about how to ensure strong stewardship of Rotary’s funds. This process helps confirm that Rotarians who are passionate about doing good work in the community also have all the resources and skills needed to properly manage funds, coordinate with partners for successful implementation and communicate back to Rotary on the sustainability of their projects though timely reporting. Altogether, this is a critical element to assuring our members and our donors that we’re putting their donations to good work."
I am attaching a summary of qualified clubs with their qualification certificates to allow you participate in global grants and encourage those clubs that are yet to qualify to seize the opportunity.
Have a blessed year 2021.
In Rotary service!
