Carlsbad Rotaries...
We Invest. We Lead. We Serve. We Inspire.
Last year the Carlsbad Rotary Clubs netted nearly $50,000 to donate to local charities, and over the years have donated over $1million to worthy charitable organizations. This year we are proud to be sponsoring the Agua Hedionda Lagoon Foundation and Solutions for Change. Both organizations exemplify the Rotary spirit of "serving others" by giving and building our community.
Agua Hedionda Lagoon Foundation
2015 Celebrating our Foundation's 25th Year
The Agua Hedionda Lagoon Foundation, a non-profit 501c3, operates the Discovery Center, an extraordinaire collection of hands on nature activities that allow visitors to “taste nature” experiencing both the lagoon and the ecological reserve that resides in Carlsbad. We are located on Eastern end of the lagoon, and operate this amazing teaching hub for all of North County open six days a week. This beautiful community nature center hosts an award-winning Environmental Education School Program, as well as, lectures, bird walks, festivals and events through out the year. We are the only body of water that successfully eradicated Caulerpa Taxifolia, a killer alga, from the lagoon. It threatened to close the lagoon and creep into the coastline changing the entire bottom of the ocean. Educating the public about this and other eco systems associated with the lagoon while still allowing recreation is what we promote and value. As a non-profit, the lagoon foundation relies on support of the community through membership, fundraising and private donations to keep this watershed healthy for future lagoon stewards to cherish.

Solutions for Change
Solutions for Change transforms lives and communities by permanently solving family homelessness. Our approach is unique, providing a complete and sustainable solution driven by accountability.
Solutions for Change has worked since 1999 to solve family homelessness in North County San Diego. In that time, we have saved taxpayers more than $39 million by helping families permanently solve their homelessness. Our 1,000-day Solutions University program gives individuals access to the skills, knowledge and resources they need to become and stay self-sufficient.
