Rotory Foundation Grant Management Seminar
扶輪基金獎助金管理研習會

Entity is considering business in which funds will be paid to a Rotarian; a goods and/ or services
provider owned or managed by a Rotarian, Honorary Rotarian, employee of a club, district, or other
Rotary Entity or of Rotary International, Rotarian’s spouse, lineal descendants (child or grandchild by
blood, legal adoption, or marriage without adoption), spouses of lineal descendants, and ancestors
(parent or grandparent by blood), or employees of agencies, organizations, or institutions partnering
with TRF.
Examples of business relationships that may require further review to confirm that a Rotarian conflict
of interest does not exist include business transactions with a partner nongovernmental organization,
goods or services provider, insurance company, travel agency, shipping agency, study institution,
language skills testing firm, etc.
Business transactions with individuals or entities with whom there is an actual or perceived conflict
of interest can be completed upon approval of the general secretary if such transaction provides the
best product or service at fair market value, as evidenced by a sales quote or offer obtained through
a fair, open and thorough request for proposals or bidding process.
The general secretary shall provide advice on how to interpret and implement this conflict of interest
policy. Any unresolved conflict of interest involving a program grant or award must be reported by
a Rotarian or Rotary entity involved to the general secretary at least 30 days in advance of the
selection process or proposed business transaction. The general secretary will decide if a conflict
of interest may exist for a particular case. If, upon review of the situation, the general secretary
concludes that there is or has been a conflict of interest in the execution of a TRF program grant or
award, the general secretary shall fashion an appropriate remedy. Such remedy may include the
cancellation of current or suspension of future TRF program grants or awards involving a particular
Rotary, Rotary club or Rotary district.
