Why a club might use this

Credible organisations find relevant Rotary capacity faster, while unsuitable matches are filtered before communities bear the cost.

Use it when

  • NGOs, Rotary clubs and District committees, grant leads, subject specialists and prospective community partners. Use when clubs receive partnership requests they cannot assess consistently.

Before the club starts

  • Published eligibility, screening, listing, matching and removal criteria.
  • Secure minimum-data fields, consent language and role-based administration.
  • A review panel, complaints path and clear disclaimer about independent due diligence.

Controls and safeguards

  • A listing or algorithmic match is not approval, accreditation or Rotary endorsement.
  • Publish privacy, security, moderation, retention and breach-response controls before collection.
  • High — platform security, false endorsement and inadequate vetting can scale harm rather than partnership.

What to measure

  • Listings meet the published minimum standard.

Follow-up: Check both parties after each introduction, close unmatched requests with reasons where appropriate, and perform scheduled access and listing reviews.

Before your club says yes

Does the idea fit?

Talk with the people it is meant to serve and check that the need is real.

Who can say yes?

Name the person or group that can approve the work, spending and any safety arrangements.

Are people protected?

Check privacy, consent and safety. Collect only the information you genuinely need.

Can everyone take part?

Check the language, format, place, technology and cost for barriers.

Are the facts and permissions right?

Check names, claims, images, quotations, partner references and Rotary branding.

How will we learn?

Note where things stand now, check in at 30, 60 and 90 days, and decide what to do next.
