WAYS TO SUPPORT LWRC
LWRC FUND
Donations to the LWRC general fund go to areas of highest need, like boathouse improvements, dock and launch maintenance, or equipment purchase. These donations are tax-deductible.
All of our new modern rowing shells have been purchased with the generous donations of our members. You can donate specifically to our equipment fund to help us maintain a modern and well-maintained rowing fleet.
LWRC ENDOWMENT
The LWRC endowment ensures that Lake Washington Rowing club can operate and spread the joy of rowing in the Seattle area for years to come.
Donate to our endowment to preserve the legacy of LWRC.
VOLUNTEER
Volunteering is an important aspect of Lake Washington's community and culture. We rely on members for boathouse and equipment maintenance, as well as various professional services, which allows to keep the boathouse running smoothly while having the lowest membership dues in the Seattle area.
In addition, LWRC volunteers run local regattas - like our own Head of the Lake - and support the wider rowing community.
