Community Benefit grants are provided to enrich individuals, families and the community. A committee made up of Rotary members selects grants to be awarded based upon the criteria and funding available.

The Coos Bay North Bend Rotary Club fosters service in business and community life. The Club has been active in the Bay area for 91 years, chartered in March of 1922.
