About LOS GATOS ROTARY CHARITIES FOUNDATION

Los Gatos Rotary Charities Foundation is the 501(c)(3) grantmaking arm associated with the Rotary Club of Los Gatos. Incorporated to accumulate, invest, and distribute charitable resources, the foundation supports local and international projects that advance youth programs, health, and human services. In recent years the foundation has been an active local funder and program partner: it awards scholarships to Los Gatos area students, supports community service projects (hygiene kits, book donations, hospital support), and makes grants to nonprofits and international missions. In the fiscal year reflected on its most recent Form 990 (fiscal year ending June 2024) the foundation held nearly $2.0 million in assets and distributed several hundred thousand dollars in grants to education, health, and human services programs.
