Commonly Asked Questions

Q: How do Individual Grants relate to Grants for Rotary Volunteers?

答：合格的人員(參看下方)能使用一個個人獎助金如同一位扶輪義工般提供直接的服務，或者是如同他們以發現獎助金去規畫一個計劃。個人獎助金也能支援配合獎助金與地區簡化獎助金。

A: Qualified persons (see below) can use an Individual Grant to either provide direct service like a Rotary Volunteer or plan a project as they did with a Discovery Grant. Individual Grants can also support Matching Grants and District Simplified Grants.

Q: Who can receive an Individual Grant?

答：扶輪社員、扶輪社員的眷屬、扶輪青年服務團團員，以及資格符合的扶輪基金會前受獎人。

A: Rotarians, spouses of Rotarians, Rotaractors, and qualified TRF alumni may apply.

問：扶輪基金會將會確定一處扶輪社員國際服務機會的地點

Q: Will TRF locate an international service opportunity for Rotarians?

答：個人獎助金不是一種人員安置的計劃。義工與計劃之間所有的聯繫和準備工作都是採取直接的方式。扶輪義工計劃透過國際扶輪提供兩種資源來支援扶輪社員義工們。因而扶輪義工國際網址資料庫包括了尋找義工服務遍及全世界的扶輪計劃。扶輪義工資料庫在尋找有興趣至全世界從事義工工作的個人。請瀏覽國際扶輪全球資訊網www.rotary.org/programs/volunteers/participate/volunteer_intl.html或與國際扶輪計劃部門聯繫以取得更多之資訊。

A: Individual Grants is not a placement program. All contacts and arrangements are made directly between the volunteer and the project. The Rotary Volunteers program through Rotary International provides two resources to support Rotarian volunteers. The Rotary Volunteers International Site Database contains Rotary projects worldwide that are seeking volunteers. The Rotary Volunteers Database identifies individuals who are interested in volunteer work throughout the world. For more information, visit the RI Web site at www.rotary.org/programs/volunteers/participate/volunteer_intl.html or contact the RI Programs Division.

問：我能否前往不受扶輪社員管理的一個非扶輪計劃去擔任義工？

Q: Can I volunteer at a non-Rotary project that is not administered by Rotarians?

答：能夠。然而，你應該受到貴計劃所在地鄰近之扶輪社邀請。你必須提交一封邀請函，說明你義工期限確切的日期與你完整的個人獎助金申請書。此外，該信函應該證明該技術或計劃是該社區所需求的。

A: Yes. However, you must be invited by the Rotary club closest to your project site. You should submit a letter of invitation, stating the exact dates of your volunteer term and signed by the club president, with your completed Individual Grant application. In addition, the letter should confirm that the skill or project is needed in the community.

問：我能否前往於適當距離內無扶輪社的地方去擔任義工？

Q: Can I volunteer where there is no Rotary club within a reasonable distance?

答：否。個人獎助金是兩個扶輪社間的一種合夥關係。人道獎助金的目的是要協助由不同國家而來的扶輪社，一起合作去執行計劃以產生更強的扶輪網絡。

A: No. The Individual Grant is a partnership between two Rotary clubs. The intent of the Humanitarian Grants Program is to assist in developing stronger Rotary networks as clubs from different nations work together to implement projects.
