WE-GO established a separate 501(c)(3) foundation back in the 70's. All active members of the club are also members of the foundation. Our club raises funds annually placing the net proceeds into our Foundation. Our club operating funds are separate from our foundation funds. The WE-GO Foundation files it's own IRS return.
WE-GO supports the Fire Relief Fund established by Rotary District 5000. Read more...
Two of our past foundation funded projects are the Bahamas Relief and ROADD described below.
Bahamas Relief
To assist with the recovery from the severe damage in the Bahamas on August 24th 2019 by Hurricane Dorian, WE-GO staged a special dinner and fund raiser that raised $6,000 including member donations which was dispatched by Rotary International for disbursement through two Bahama area Rotary Clubs. |

One of the internal projects developed by WE-GO members was driven home by Mark Rudiger. We used funds raised during the year to promote an awareness education program in the West Chester School District with our local Police.
Our Very First Foundation Project
Repairing the Westtown's Oakbourne Mansion Water Tower was WE-GO's first official project in the 70's. Below is the before and after pictures.
