We provide eligible organizations/institutions, who apply to our Point West Club Foundation, with grants up to $5,000 yearly.

Grants have provided for portions of the organization’s Camp Wonder transportation, snacks and other food, Camp T-shirts (w/PWR logo), water bottles, hats & bags, and professional photographer. The Camp Wonder experience strengthens the bond between the foster youth and their mentors, making a huge difference socially for youth, as they participate together in activities and work groups with other foster youth peers.
