OCF's endowment comes from thousands of Oregonians who have invested with us to help our state. OCF manages more than 1,600 individual funds of various sizes. From these funds, grants are distributed to support the critical work that nonprofit organizations are doing around Oregon.
OCF is governed by a volunteer board of directors. They provide leadership to the Foundation and have the responsibility to ensure that the endowment is managed in an efficient, thoughtful way.
We rely on more than 1,600 local volunteers who give us deep-rooted knowledge of community needs.
Our professional staff helps donors realize their charitable goals and nonprofit organizations become stronger.
