Future Vision Overview Logo

Resource ContactsThe Rotary Foundation Future Vision Pilot is a three-year test of the new grant structure offered in the Foundation's Future Vision Plan. One-hundred districts worldwide have been selected to participate and our district is one of the 100 pilot projects.

Pilot districts have a unique opportunity to help refine the new grant structure by providing input. They will also  receive specialized Foundation support and service.

Pilot districts will be able to use up to 50 percent of their District Designated Fund for district grants, and also will be able to access Global Grants, which are matched by Rotary's World Fund.

Objectives of Future Vision

  • Strengthen the impact of club projects
  • Sharpen focus of grants
  • Transfer more decision making locally
  • Partner with other organizations
  • Simplify grant processing
  • Increase Rotary’s visibility and image

Districts participating in the pilot agree to follow the new grant structure throughout the pilot and to not participate in any of the current Foundation programs with the exception of PolioPlus and the Rotary Centers for International Studies.

Participation in the pilot requires a three-year commitment from the district. Once a district enters the pilot, it cannot withdraw.



Districts will need to be patient and flexible. There is no doubt that as our program moves forward, there will be changes not anticipated at the beginning.
