Strategic cooperative relationships will enhance service efforts 
By Janis Young 
Rotary International News 

A key feature of The Rotary Foundation's Future Vision Plan involves 
forming strategic cooperative relationships (SCR) with organizations 
that can help the Foundation accomplish its mission and the goals of 
each area of focus. Under the SCR model adopted by the Foundation 
Trustees and RI Board, the Foundation will strategically cooperate 
with organizations that specialize in one of strategic areas of focus 
to be selected at the April Trustees meeting and endorsed at the June 
Board meeting. 

Areas of focus are defined as a priority world need, identified by 
Rotarians, in which the Foundation is directing its resources to have 
a sustainable and measurable impact that leverages the organization's 
financial and volunteer resources. The SCR organizations are expected 
to provide financial support, technical expertise, or advocacy 
efforts in projects and activities that are designed jointly with 
the Foundation and include Rotarian participation. 

The Trustees anticipate significant benefits in cooperating with 
other organizations to support the projects and activities of the 
Foundation. The relationship is expected to promote a holistic 
approach in providing sustainable outcomes in projects and activities 
of Rotarians worldwide. The SCR model provides unlimited 
opportunities to spread the message of Rotarians' service focus.

The SCR model will focus on a collaborative approach in projects with 
financial, technical, and advocacy resources involving Rotarians, 
clubs, districts, and other Rotary entities. The final outcomes 
provide a significant benefit to the communities that both 
organizations - Rotary and the strategic cooperative relationship 
organization - are serving.

"Like our partnership in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, 
strategic cooperative relationships will enable The Rotary Foundation 
to address larger needs," said Trustee Chair Robert S. Scott. "We 
expect to partner with organizations that are recognized worldwide 
for their work in our areas of focus and who can contribute 
financial, technical, or advocacy resources."
