Balance
Creating balance in communities by dismantling communication barriers and empowering people with a sharing of voices.
Managing the balance between mission and financial sustainability.

Interdependence
Those who act have a responsibility to others

Succession
One language lost about every two weeks.Challenge becomes stimulating cross-cultural
communication while preserving community heritage.

Memorandum of Agreement
• Strategic driver• Potential stake in heart
![Page 13: The Rosetta Stone Foundation](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56816873550346895ddee512/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What will Rosetta Stone offer?• Cash problematic• In kind contributions
![Page 14: The Rosetta Stone Foundation](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56816873550346895ddee512/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Other funding sources?• “Newer plants” pollinated by multiple species
(Meisel, 2010)• Diversified funding adds stability and prevents
mission from being changed by a leering sponsor
![Page 15: The Rosetta Stone Foundation](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56816873550346895ddee512/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Handling unexpected success• Overwhelming success means change. Change
scares people.• People discount unexpected success like they
avoid discussing succession• RSF should make a plan to capitalize on this
source of innovation if given the opportunity
![Page 16: The Rosetta Stone Foundation](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081503/56816873550346895ddee512/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Surviving Growth• Capital needs during periods of growth often
greater than during startup period• Need superb financial management• MOA should clarify whether or not RSF will
provide assistance with financial planning
