Part IV: Fund and Organize¶
In its disaster policy, the Rotary Foundation Code of Policies gives Rotary a precise role: "to be a resource and to assist in long term disaster recovery." Not to replace relief. Not to pay for everything.
The earlier parts established what your club wants to restart: an assessment (Chapter 3), a decision to shift (Chapter 4), a filter against harm (Chapter 5), levers chosen and sequenced over time (Chapters 6 to 9). This part answers the two questions that decide whether the project will really exist: with what money, and with whom.
Chapter 10 deals with money. The Foundation's three grants differ in purpose, in who applies and in timing; their rules are given as they stand in July 2026, and Appendix E tells you where to check them. The club's own money, donors' money and outside partners' money complete the funding package.
Chapter 11 deals with how Rotary organizes itself: the host club, the partner club, the district, the action groups. A recovery project lasts longer than a presidency. It needs a structure that survives the handovers.
Chapter 12 looks beyond Rotary: the authorities, the humanitarian system, the other organizations working on the ground.
One remark before you start. These chapters cannot be read on their own. A funding plan without an assessment has nothing to fund, and the Foundation itself refuses to review it.
