The Bellevue Rotary Foundation supports three broad categories of organizations and activities through Foundation grants.

Community Grants. Funds various charities and educational organizations that provide services to residents in need primarily on the Greater Eastside of Lake Washington. The Bellevue Foundation has contributed significant funding and countless volunteer hours to organizations in the Bellevue community. Additionally, the Bellevue Foundation contributed to building Inspiration Playground at the Bellevue Downtown Park. Inspiration Playground is an inclusive outdoor play environment designed for children and families of all ages and abilities.

World Community Service Grants. The Bellevue Foundation also participates in a broad range of humanitarian, intercultural and educational activities designed to improve lives around the world. Humanitarian grants support projects that provide health care and medical supplies, clean water, food, job training, youth development, and education to millions of people in need, particularly in the developing world.  The Foundation also provides numerous grants each year to fund work of Rotary Club of Bellevue volunteers in areas where their technical expertise and knowledge are most needed to alleviate hardship and solve problems.  In addition, the Foundation builds understanding through international scholarships and exchange programs.

Vocational Service Grants. This innovative program provides funding for youth scholarships, Rotary youth exchange programs, vocational service awards, two Rotaract clubs, and Partners for Work, which assists developmentally disabled people who are at least 18 years old and want to work.
