Palo Alto/University Rotary Club (PAUR)
We are a dynamic and inclusive group united by a passion for service, community, and sustainability. We come together across generations to live Rotary’s motto: “Service Above Self.”
We support communities, address global challenges, and protect the planet—driven by purpose, compassion, and a commitment to lasting impact.
Whether you’re looking to volunteer your time or support our work through a donation, there are many ways to get involved. Join us for a Friday morning meeting and experience the “Maverick spirit” in action!

October is The Rotary Foundation (TRF) Month
November is Rotary Foundation Month, a time to celebrate how local action creates a ripple effect of change across the globe. As an Every Rotarian, Every Year (EREY) club, PAUR encourages every member to give annually, helping fund polio eradication, clean water, peace fellowships, and local community support.
This November, we are also conducting our 2nd annual Thanks + Giving Campaign. To learn more, visit our Foundation, Gratitude & Appreciation Month page, or give directly here.
