Commonly Asked Questions |
|
問：扶輪基金會能直接支付獎助金給一位受益人？ |
Q: Can TRF make a grant payment directly to a beneficiary? |
|
答：不可以。扶輪基金會授予獎助金給扶輪社和地區。贊助者必須完全控制獎助金經費和說明他們的支出。扶輪基金會獎助金支持著扶輪社員的努力，而非其他組織團體。扶輪社及地區解決人道問題，以幫助需要人道服務之社區。通常組織團體協助執行計劃，但是扶輪社員必須一直參與。
�P |
A: No. TRF awards grants to Rotary clubs and districts. The sponsors
must have full control of grant funds and account for their expenditure.
TRF grants support the endeavors of Rotarians, not other organizations.
Often organizations help implement the project, but Rotarians must
always be involved. |
|
問：我們會於一個計劃夥伴中期盼什麼？ |
Q: What should we look for in a project partner? |
|
答：與遙遠的人建立一種良好的工作關係那是很不容易的事，但是，你應該期盼以下：
•
個人的關係和社區的聯繫。任何東西不能夠替代扶輪社員間的友誼。
•
先前成功計劃的證據。包括：
–
成果
–
報告
–
持續性
•
良好的溝通。
你有所有需要的資訊，並與你的夥伴扶輪社定期的接觸?
|
A: It is never easy to establish a good working relationship with
someone a long distance away, but you should look for the following:
•
Personal relationships and connections to the community. Nothing can
substitute for a friendship between Rotarians.
•
Evidence
of previous successful projects, including:
– Implementation
– Reporting
– Sustainability
•
Good
communication. Do you have all the necessary information to make good,
regular contact with your partner club? |
|
問：因為地區將負責承辦配合獎助金，因此關心我們的扶輪社。我們能如何來確保這些扶輪社仍然接受管理並積極參與他們的計劃？
|
Q: Our club is concerned because it appears the district will be taking
charge of Matching Grants. How can we ensure that the clubs still have
control of and active participation in their projects? |
|
答：地區扶輪基金獎助金小組委員會可透過檢閱申請書是否完整的方式來支援該扶輪社。在扶輪基金獎助金計劃方面，該小組委員會是的一個容易接觸的專家。 |
A: The district Rotary Foundation grants subcommittee supports the clubs
by reviewing applications for completeness. The subcommittee is an
accessible expert on TRF grants programs. |
|
問：如果我們的申請書是完整和合格的，但是由於政治原因該小組委員會不簽署它。
我們有任何求助的對象嗎？如果我們直接把它寄給協調人時那會發生什麼事情？
|
Q: What if our application is complete and eligible but the subcommittee
doesn’t endorse it due to political reasons. Do we have any recourse?
What happens if we send it directly to the coordinator? |
|
答：如果該扶輪社不覺得受到小組委員會的支援，它可以直接向扶輪基金會提交申請書。如果該申請書不完全，無論如何，它將會與一個簡短說明一併寄回。 |
A: If the club does not feel it is receiving the subcommittee’s support,
it may submit the application to TRF directly. If the application is
incomplete, however, it will be returned with a brief explanation. |
|
問：計劃贊助者將如何知道地區扶輪基金會是否批准了該申請書?
有一個公式戳記嗎?
|
Q: How will the project sponsors know if the district Rotary Foundation
committee has approved the application? Is there an official stamp? |
|
答：沒有公式戳記。扶輪基金會將會提供地區－申請書保證指南(
151 )。
地區領導必須建立與扶輪社的聯繫關係。扶輪基金會確信地區將會策劃出最有效支援扶輪社的方法。
|
A: There is no official
stamp. TRF will provide the district with The Guide to Certifying an
Application (151) to aid the certification
process. The district leadership must establish communication with the
clubs. TRF is certain the district will devise the most effective method
of supporting the clubs. |
|
問：計劃國家或國際贊助國家中的地區扶輪基金委員必須簽署申請書嗎?
|
Q: Does the district Rotary Foundation committee in the project country
or international sponsor country have to endorse the
application? |
|
答：該結論完全取決於所涉及的扶輪社而定。該計劃的細節會要求由誰來檢閱該申請書。例如，如果贊助者將購買項目是在地主國家中時，那理所當然由當地地區來檢閱該申請書。沒有艱澀的規定，僅僅只是讓扶輪社有機會去抉擇而已。
|
A: The decision is entirely up to the clubs involved. The details of the
project may dictate who will review the application. For example, if the
sponsors will be purchasing items in the host country, it may make more
sense for the local district to review the application. There are no
hard rules, just opportunities for clubs to make choices. |
