SEPTEMBER 2021
Investing in Communities
A year ago, devastating fires ripped through our forests and towns just as families prepared for the start of the school year. Today, with a new fire season underway and communities reeling from a new wave of the pandemic, many hurdles remain. We look forward to continued collaboration with donors and nonprofits as we invest together in communities to tackle deep-seated challenges in the months and years ahead.
The 2020 Community Rebuilding Fund set a goal of raising $10 million and has successfully raised $9.3 million to date from individuals, families, corporations and other foundations since September 2020. Contributions can be made online at oregoncf.org/rebuilding.
