Rotary members are neighbors, friends, and community leaders who come together to create positive, lasting change in our communities and around the world.
 
The Rotary Club of Point West founded the Point West Rotary Club Foundation in 1998. The Foundation funds projects that will benefit the needs of the community:

• Organizations that serve and benefit children
• Programs that celebrate or promote community service
• Service activities of Rotary International and other Rotary

The Foundation has established a legacy in our community that impacts families and quality of life in our community. Helping our community is an honor and the members of the Rotary Club of Point West are committed to making a meaningful impact both now and in the future.
 
The Foundation is a 501 (C) (3) and is governed by a Board of Trustees selected by the Club.
