During its sixty plus years, RCWO has raised over $2,500,000 in support of local community projects and global initiatives. In 2015, the Rotary Club of West Ottawa established its own charitable foundation called the Rotary Club of West Ottawa Charitable Foundation (BN 822159323RR0001) to receive bequests and other funds on behalf of the club, invest the funds, and then use the income generated to transform these gifts into support for service projects that change lives both close to home and around the world. Many thanks to our Donors.!
All investment proceeds are returned to the Club for use in support of its many and varied projects. For example, donations have been made to
- Cornerstone Housing for Women which provides a supportive home for vulnerable women in Ottawa
- the Rotary Home's "Angel Campaign" which provides respite care for families of children with disabilities
- the Odawa Native Friendship Centre which provides support to the city’s indigenous population
- Veterans’ House which provides housing to homeless veterans
- Matthew House which provides shelter, furnishings and community to refugees and those transitioning to permanent housing
- Minwaashin Lodge, an indigenous women’s support centre
- The Caldwell Family Centre which plays a critical role in supporting residents of Ottawa who are affected by poverty.
