For The Rotary Foundation, sustainability means providing long-term solutions to community needs that the benefiting community can maintain after grant funding ends. Global grant projects must be sustainable and display the following characteristics:
92 PLANNING YOUR GLOBAL GRANT PART FOUR: MONITORING & EVALUATION
93 Principle of Measurability Project outcomes are measured either quantitatively or qualitatively: Students completing secondary school increased from 55% to 70% Malaria cases reduced by 25% Children suffer less diarrhea, teachers say they learn more, and they are excited about education Note: Use interviews & household surveys of beneficiaries, before and after; summarize results & use the baseline data.
94 Monitoring Review Goals of the project Select Measures (quantitative, qualitative) Discuss Who will Measure, How, When Clarify what is Rotary role vs. Community Role vs. Government or NGO role What data? How Gathered How Displayed? - Assists with reporting requirements - TRF provides tools for M&E.
95 Evaluation Evaluation can be ongoing during project implementation (how are we doing?) Compares Goals of the project to Outcomes Who does it? Independent, Unbiased? - Assists with reporting requirements - Use findings to improve future projects and identify successes you can promote. TRF provides tools for M&E
96 Monitoring & Evaluation - Plan Supplement ON WEBSITE
97 PLANNING YOUR GLOBAL GRANT PART FIVE: STEWARDSHIP & REPORTING
98 We are all stewards Our collective responsibility Ensure money is used for its intended purpose Voluntary contributions = hard work and dedicated support Rotary s policy documents
99 Proper Grant Management Promotes Successful projects Rotary s mission and reputation A culture of financial accountability/transparency Maintains donor confidence What happens when things go wrong?
100 Responsible Financial Management How do we make sure grant funds are used as effectively and efficiently as possible? Using Standard Business Practices to Make informed purchasing decisions Conduct financial transactions in a transparent, traceable manner Maintain complete records of all financial activity
101 Operationalize Stewardship MOU requirements: Financial management plan (framework) Annual financial assessment (evaluation) Setting up of bank accounts (means) Reporting (means) Document retention (means) Stewardship plan (enforcement)
102 Bank Account Requirements Project account requirements Minimum of two Rotarian signatories Low or non-interest bearing Separate account for each grant project, clearly identified Bank statements Account activity Funds withdrawn to make direct payments Excess returned or seek approval
103 Use of Grant Funds Project committees collectively responsible for determining and managing grant funds Accountable for grant funds and reporting Collective Responsibility Monopolizing grant activity; misuse Tip: Discuss project updates in weekly club meetings and record the minutes.
104 Use of Grant Funds: Purchases Cost-effective purchases of goods or services Bidding process or request for proposals needed to make informed purchasing decisions Vendor selection and price point clear to district/staff Tip: If prices changed during the implementation stage (differ significantly from approved budget), contact your grant officer and receive approval for the change in prices or quantity
105 Use of Grant Funds: Payments Invoices must be received for goods/services Tip: Do not make payments until you have received an invoice Payments should be made directly to vendors Tip: If purchase has been made by another party, such as a cooperating organization, invoice must be received before payment/reimbursement is made Payments should be made by check. Tip: When cash payments are necessary, use a receipt book to record the expense at local markets and ask the vendors to sign the receipt Event of misuse
106 Ledger of Payment Activity Ledger should include (at a minimum): Date of transaction Check number Payee Amount Purpose of transaction Signature of reviewer
107 Document Retention Maintain project records for at least 5 years after completion. Documents that should be filed systematically and cross-referenced in a ledger: Invoices/receipts Bank statements Inventory list
108 Stewardship The trustees rely on the integrity of the clubs and Rotarians engaged in project implementation to ensure that funds are used effectively for the purpose for which they were given.
109 Reporting Timeline New grant applications will not be accepted by TRF if a grant sponsor has an overdue report for any Foundation grant. Progress reports must be submitted within 12 months of receiving the first grant payment and every 12 months thereafter. Final reports must be submitted within two months of completing the project. Document Retention 5 years
110 Essential Resources
111 Begin with the End in Mind Do you have a viable, responsible, committed Host Club? Whose idea is the project - Host Club? Is there a completed Community Needs Assessment? Do you have a clear goal including the results you hope to see from the project? Is the Monitoring and Evaluation Template complete?
112 Begin with the End in Mind, cont d Have you identified ONE Area of Focus Does your project meet the purposes and goals of your chosen Area of Focus? Have you tested your concept for sustainability? If the answers to all of these questions is YES, then you are ready to apply for a Global Grant.
