Rotary Non-Profit Coalition

Form a practical coalition of non-profits to share capacity, coordinate service delivery and address a jointly evidenced sector constraint.

What could this idea change?

Frontline organisations preserve more effort for beneficiaries by sharing selected infrastructure, learning or coordination.

A simple way to start

  1. Quantify the common sector constraint and current duplicated costs. Who could lead it: Coalition analyst
  2. Select members with relevant authority and complementary capability. Who could lead it: Formation group
  3. Approve the charter and one shared service or coordination pilot. Who could lead it: Member delegates
  4. Operate the pilot with transparent cost and service records. Who could lead it: Host organisation
  5. Evaluate beneficiary and member value before adding workstreams. Who could lead it: Coalition board

What should we look for?

  • Common constraint is evidenced across participating organisations.

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?
