Community Impact

Empowering Community Solutions

We collaborate with donors, community organizations, government, and local businesses to create new strategies and solutions for our residents’ most pressing challenges.

Arts and Recreation

Four friends standing together outdoors during sunset, embracing and looking into the distance, with backpacks and camping gear on the ground nearby.

We support Poway’s creative arts & music programs, sports, parks and outdoor experiences for those who call Poway home.

Children and Families

Four children with fishing gear proudly display their caught fish on a beach near a body of water with mountains in the background, under a clear blue sky.

Poway is a family focused community. We are dedicated to helping children, seniors and those with special needs grow, learn, and thrive.
