Governance
Everything you need to understand who we are, who leads us, and what we stand for.
Our Story
Build Friendships. Serve Community Needs. Create Measureable Impact.
Bellevue Impact Rotary was founded in response to a growing need for a civic organization in Bellevue that could move quickly, operate transparently, and center its work on equity and direct community benefit.
Our founders saw a city undergoing rapid transformation and wanted to ensure that the benefits of growth were shared across the entire community.
Civic Focus
We are a service club first. Every project, meeting, and governance decision flows from one question: what does our community need most right now? We focus especially on food access, youth opportunity, and cross-sector partnerships that outlast any single project.
Our Values
The Four-Way Test and our civic commitments
Is it the Truth?

We communicate honestly with members, partners, and the public.
Is it Fair?
2
We consider every stakeholder. Our decisions account for the impact on community members, partners, and those we serve.
Does it Build Goodwill?
3
We measure success not just by projects completed but by relationships strengthened and trust built.
Is it Beneficial to All?
4
We ask whether our actions create lasting value for all parties involved, not just our club or its members.
