Charity Collaboration Projects

Co-deliver a tightly scoped project with a charity so its service expertise and Rotary's local mobilisation produce a visible, accountable result.

What could this idea change?

A defined gap is addressed without building a parallel service, and donors can see who is accountable for each resource and outcome.

A simple way to start

  1. Ask the charity to define the service gap and evidence of need. Who could lead it: Charity liaison
  2. Select a deliverable matched to Rotary capacity and the charity's operating model. Who could lead it: Project committee
  3. Set the budget, donation pathway, volunteer standards and beneficiary protections. Who could lead it: Treasurer and safeguarding lead
  4. Deliver under the charity's service protocols with a shared issue log. Who could lead it: Joint project manager
  5. Reconcile funds, assets, outputs and beneficiary feedback at close. Who could lead it: Acquittal owner

What should we look for?

  • Agreed project output is delivered within approved scope.

Before we say yes

  • Does it fit a real local need?
  • Can people take part safely and fairly?
  • Are the facts, permissions and Rotary branding right?
  • Who will lead it, and when will we review it?
