Oregon.
We love this state.
We love it for its bountiful natural beauty,
for its wealth of
opportunity, for a respect for
the past and an optimism for the future. And
we believe in our collective ability to build that
future. A future where all Oregonians can create
and sustain meaningful lives; Where communities
are working together to address our
greatest challenges; Where every
Oregonian has access to food and shelter,
health care and education.
At OCF, we connect the
power of philanthropy
with the individuals and organizations
who are leading the way to create
a vibrant future for Oregon.
Here for Oregon. Here for Good.

Message from the board
Dear Friends,
We had a wonderful time celebrating our 40th anniversary year and
commemorating our four decades of achievement, and we were
pleased that so many of you could share in our statewide celebrations.
As it happened, 2014 was a fantastic year for philanthropy around the
world: regionally, nationally and internationally. OCF was no exception: Last year, more than a hundred Oregonians established new
funds with us and our endowment grew by more than $100 million.
We awarded more scholarships than ever before to 3,200 students,
we distributed a landmark series of grants, and we formally affirmed
our commitment to serve all Oregonians by ratifying our Equity,
Diversity and Inclusion Statement. All in all, it was quite a year!
Of course, none of these successes could have been accomplished
without your support and engagement. As OCF board members, we
are motivated by the knowledge that in every corner of Oregon, OCF
has friends who believe in our work, who help us promote effective
philanthropy, and who are committed to improving life in our state.
At OCF we are fortunate to be part of this community of doers. You
are the people who support our daily goal, to be here for Oregon
— as well as our long-term commitment, to be here for good.

orking hand in hand with communities around Oregon, the Foundation
partners with leaders and collaborators, aiming our mutual values and
vision toward areas in the state with the greatest needs. The result? Long-lasting
community programs that lead to crucial solutions. Here are five that promise to
change lives for the better.
Latino Partnership Program
More Latinos live in Oregon than ever before, their numbers having
increased 63 percent between 2000 and 2010. As a result, long-held views of
politics, education, the work force and community relations are shifting.
OCF is moving right along with that shift by engaging with Latino leaders and
organizations throughout Oregon. Working together with a local presence in
three regions of the state, we’re addressing educational, social and economic challenges and bridging cross-cultural gaps. From early-childhood literacy
and parent education to leadership development and nonprofit organizational
support, improvements like these are making a positive difference for Oregon’s
fastest-growing population.
Early Childhood Education
By the time they enter kindergarten, many children already lag far behind. And it
is ever harder for them to catch up. OCF and our state’s educators realize it’s critical that children from their earliest years through grade three receive a steady,
constant and high-quality education.
To help them get a better head start, the Foundation’s multiyear, statewide Prenatal through Grade 3 (P-3) Alignment program links early-childhood education
with elementary-school curricula. Nine Oregon school districts received a total of
$660,200 to ensure that more children are reading at the third-year benchmark.
When they are, they increase their chances of success throughout their school
years, and beyond.
Children’s Dental Health
Cavities hurt, making it hard to chew; and bacteria in the mouth can spread to other
parts of the body, leading to serious illnesses. That’s what one-third of Oregon’s children face, with untreated tooth decay, and one-fifth have it in seven or more teeth.
In fact, Oregon has one of the country’s highest rates of childhood dental disease.
So OCF has dedicated $2.5 million over the next few years to increase oral health
awareness, school-based dental health services and the numbers of medical professionals who screen for oral disease. And with our partners, we’re also leading the
way to shape state policies and procedures. All to improve dental health in Oregon.

Impact Investing
Every community in our state depends
on a strong economy to help it thrive.
OCF recognizes that financial return is
important for both nonprofit organizations and for-profit companies. For
those that also want social return,
there’s impact investing.
Craft3 loans helped Floyd Holcom
redevelop Astoria’s Pier 39
Rural Oregon businesses, especially,
have faced challenges in obtaining
the capital they need to grow. Now
they can turn to Craft3, thanks in part
to the $1 million it received from OCF.
This nonprofit community-development financial institution specializes
in low-interest loans to small businesses unable to access traditional
credit. While boosting business, it
builds economic, ecological and family resilience for people throughout
Oregon. And that’s just the beginning.
Creative Heights
OCF believes in supporting arts and
culture for all Oregonians. Our $12.5
million investment does just that. It’s
devoted to strategies aimed to create spirited arts communities of all
sizes throughout the state. Enter Creative Heights.
Making art means taking risks. The
same goes for arts and culture organizations, if they are to give new
ideas a go and expand their creative
reach. Nine nonprofits in the Portland area and four in Eugene, Bend,
Ashland and Monmouth all received
Creative Heights grants. They’ll be
offering unique and innovative experiences in arts and culture in
communities large and small.

THE Oregon Community Foundation
It’s a big state,
Our Oregon.
It stretches 400 miles from the Pacific Ocean to Idaho and
360 miles from the Columbia River to California and Nevada.
It’s also a diverse one, with its rocky beaches and evergreen
forests, mountain peaks and fer tile valleys, high-deser t
sagebrush and yawning canyons. We love our land! We also
love our people. Nearly 4 million of us live here in more than
250 incorporated cities and towns, most of them smaller ones.
Throughout the state, Oregonians show how much they
appreciate and value their communities and surrounding
environs by supporting the causes they care about. Maybe
it’s a teenager who volunteers every Saturday at her
local food bank or a retired CEO who donates to forest
renewal. Those who contribute through OCF give generously.
Together, we’re actively living OCF’s mission — to improve
life in this precious state of ours. Together, we’re building an
even better Oregon.
Here are a few of our stories.

Helping Nonprofits Walk the Talk
John McLaughlin, Volunteer
F
or OCF grant evaluator John McLaughlin, the process of
working with grant applicants is as rewarding as the
results. “I like to learn about new organizations to see
what ideas they’re putting up against the problems they are
trying to address — and then go through the application to
find out if it fits with OCF grant guidelines,” John says. “Do I
really think the organization can accomplish their goals? I’m a
former financial guy so I get a kick out of trying to figure that
out.” According to John, what makes good grant applicants
stand out is that they are on target in terms of need, their
goal fits within OCF grant guidelines, and the organization is
“strong enough that you can believe they’re going to be able
to do what they say they are going to do.”
And the results? “There are some great nonprofits that have
grown over the years,” says John. “Like MountainStar Family
Relief Nursery: I’ve watched it grow and become pretty much
financially independent. They’re doing an amazing job taking
their story to the community and documenting how successfully they do what they say they are going to do.” An insight
such as John’s is critical to connecting OCF to communities
around the state.

Paying It Forward
From left to right: Captain Jeff Dufour, Engine

Helen E. Lorenz Fire Fund
W
hen Helen Lorenz of Bend was diagnosed with dementia, she asked Tom
Wright, of the Bend Fire Department, and Ron
Taylor, of the Bend Police Department, to become executors of her estate. Tom and Ron
had first met Helen years ago under difficult
circumstances: Helen’s husband died of a
heart attack, and the fire and police departments were the first on the scene. Helen was
grateful for their kindness, and thereafter she
began dropping off small, regular donations
of $100-$300 at their stations.
As Helen grew older, she would call on Tom
and a few others to give her some off-duty
help. They’d give her a ride somewhere or
take her grocery shopping. “She lived very
frugally,” Tom says. “She’d buy canned foods
and negotiate the price down with the store
manager.” So it came as a surprise when, after her death, Tom and Ron were called into
Bank of the Cascades to find that Helen had
left $1.1 million to be divided between Bend’s
fire and police departments, earmarked specifically for needs beyond what taxpayers
10 THE Oregon Community Foundation
would fund. “You
don’t expect this
type of thing. It always happens to
someone else!” says
Tom in gratitude.
City official Kathie
Eckman suggested they consider
establishing
two
funds at OCF. Tom
and Ron agreed.
“We really liked the way OCF set it up — the
police and fire funds are separate and have
advisory boards,” Tom says, “and the fire department has been able to fund a number of
projects we would have struggled with otherwise,” including the acquisition of fire safety
training props and dress uniforms, and the
preservation of historical documents. “And
what’s great about OCF is that we know that
each year there will be money coming in for
these projects.”
Creating Tangible Legacies
Central Oregon
Lisa Bertalan, Professional Advisor
“I
first learned of OCF when I started my estate planning
practice back in the early ‘90s,” says Bend attorney Lisa
Bertalan. “My mentor was Jim Petersen, an estate attorney,
who has made many significant charitable contributions to
our community.” OCF was a perfect match for Lisa’s clients
who wished to include charitable gifts during their lifetime
and at death, but didn’t have specific charities in mind. “They
usually had an idea about how they wanted their money to
impact a certain group or the community. OCF bridged that
gap and made my clients’ ideas a tangible legacy.”
Recently Lisa had clients who wanted to leave money to
Central Oregon student music programs. She saw a perfect
opportunity to refer them to OCF to fulfill that dream and know
that upon their deaths, that is where their funds will be directed.

“Because we are a rural county, most of my clients want
to see their gifts directly benefit the Central Oregon area.
Having a local OCF office here is great.”
Lisa sometimes encounters skepticism from clients concerned
about their funds going to high-overhead charities. But once
they meet with Julie Gregory, the local OCF charitable gift planner, all that changes. She shows them how well OCF operates
and how little it really does spend on administrative expenses.
“Most of my clients meet with Julie and come away with a positive review, and then carry out their gifting plan through OCF.”

Marrying Land Management With Jobs
Wallowa Resources, Grantee
I
n far Northeastern Oregon, with forestry jobs disappearing
overnight and sustainability becoming an environmental
buzzword, Wallowa County commissioners took on the challenge of creating new jobs and bringing new capital into their
economy. In 1996 they joined forces with local land and business owners to create Wallowa Resources. This new nonprofit
would bring in new capital and experiment with new ideas to
put people back to work in the forest and on the land. The aim
was to maintain the county’s customs and culture, but adapt to
changing market conditions, laws and public values.

TOGETHER
According to Wallowa Resources Executive
Director Nils Christoffersen, “We needed to experiment with new land management strategies
and technologies, and access new skills in the
community. And that’s how Wallowa Resources
got started.”
A significant achievement was the creation, in
spring 2012, of an Integrated Biomass Energy
Campus (IBEC). The campus houses businesses
that utilize byproducts of local forest management and restoration on the Wallowa Whitman
National Forest and private land in Wallowa,
Union and Baker counties. The IBEC, on one 70acre site, allows for multiple wood products to be
efficiently produced using small-diameter logs
that once had no market value. It also supports
and promotes stability for the local economy by
creating and retaining jobs in Wallowa County.
In addition, Wallowa Resources, along with Sustainable Northwest, another nonprofit partner in
the project, provides leadership and technical
assistance to other forest collaborative groups
in the region and across Oregon. The campus
has generated a lot of interest around Oregon
and the western U.S., as a potential solution for
other rural communities surrounded by federal
forest lands. OCF funding has supported Wallowa Resources’ work with these communities
to find new opportunities for forest restoration,
job creation and community revitalization.

a Grande’s Jan Harris may call herself a stay-at-home
mom, but given her full plate of volunteer activities, she
hardly fits the category. She became acquainted with OCF
when she applied for a community grant to help fund a
neighborhood park. She and a friend wrote the grant, then
went door to door asking each neighbor to pitch in $100.
They raised $1,500 in matching funds to secure the grant.
Tim Mabry, chair and
OCF board member
Jan says “That money helped
us get started, and with help
from the city of La Grande,
we had grass, sprinklers,
trees and sidewalks. We had
rock-picking parties to clear
the park for planting, and
folks who helped plant the
trees and shrubs and water
them through the summer.”

A second grant, matched by garage sale proceeds and donations, helped complete the park. Jan says, “The neighbors
felt such pride in our little park, and we have never had any
vandalism.”
This work was a perfect springboard to launch Jan into more
direct roles with OCF, including a term on the Northeast Oregon Heritage Fund and her current membership on OCF’s
Leadership Council. About working with OCF, Jan says, “They
know how to inspire, support and hold people accountable in
pursuing worthwhile things for their neighbors. And I love the
way they work locally with people in their own communities.”

ence and math classes and camps. Since February 1986, when
Howard Vollum bequeathed the fund upon his death, it has transformed the lives of hundreds of youth.
The engineer and scientist is best known for inventing a new kind
of cathode-ray oscilloscope and co-founding the now-Beaverton-based Tektronix, Inc., in 1946. He and his wife, Jean, who died
in June 2007, had donated millions for notable Portland building
construction projects, and to causes such as the Vollum Institute
for Advanced Biomedical Research at Oregon Health & Science
Theresa visits the OHSU
campus with her children,
Jennifer and Jakob
University (OHSU) and the Native American Center at Portland
State University. For Tektronix, Vollum saw a lack of minorities they
could hire, particularly Native Americans. The scholarship was his
final act of generosity. First handled by the Tektronix Foundation,
the fund has been managed by OCF since 1992.
“Native Americans are still really underrepresented in the STEM
fields [science, technology, engineering and math], due to psychosocial factors that prevent many youth from completing
high school,” says Theresa. “In general, it’s difficult for them to
see themselves as professionals when there are few role models out there.”
She knows this firsthand: It wasn’t until her 11th foster home that her
life took a welcome turn. “I still call them Mom and Dad,” she says
of the non-Native Aloha couple. “They saw that I was smart and had
a quick memory, and started telling me right away that I needed to
go to college, to ensure some choices. No one had ever said that to
me before in my life.”
Initially, Theresa thought social work. But first came marriage and a
child, three years after graduating from high school in 1981. When
4-month-old Thomas died in 1985 from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), she was gripped by the idea of becoming a physician.
But how to pay for it?
18 THE Oregon Community Foundation
Theresa, a member of the Confederated Tribe of Siletz Indians, had heard back then about the Vollum Scholarship
from her friend, Dave Hatch, an engineer and Tribal Council
member who has been

into medical school at
OHSU. “I felt cheered on
by my people. I was joining a community that said, ‘We value and support your path,
and want you to support others behind you,’” says Theresa,
who has been on the advisory committee since 1996.
Annually, about 10 students receive the year-by-year $3,000
scholarships, good for seven years to offset tuition, housing
and other education-related expenses. Advisory committee
members counsel them on college life, and connect them
with Native Americans on campus and in the community.
“We have a tremendously high retention rate for our students,” says Hatch. “They attend the school of their choice,
including Stanford University, Lewis & Clark and Reed College, becoming successful in their fields.”
After earning her M.D. in 1994 and going through training,
Theresa began work as director of health services for the Native American Rehabilitation Association (NARA). Then when
misfortune hit again with her husband’s death from cancer
in 2002, she quit to raise her young children, with help from
her foster mom. She remarried nearly four years ago and returned to a “low-key, low-pressure and really rewarding job.”
She now assists the elderly and disabled as a social service
supervisor with the Washington State Department of Social
and Health Services, in Vancouver.
Theresa wants all Native Americans to have the same chances she had. “We’re the first people in this nation and we have
many strengths, but we’re still disenfranchised,” she says. “I
hope the opportunities provided by the scholarship are used
to their full advantage.” What matters most to her? “We’re
creating and maintaining this path for Native youth to be anything they want to be.”

a dead zone back in 1991. By then, it was a run-down multiplex,
sharing the building with neglected retail space and a seedy bar.
Enough was enough. Sixteen community leaders from Clatsop and
Pacific counties rallied together to resuscitate the building and
breathe life back into the downtown.
Steve Forrester, editor of The Daily Astorian, was one of them. He
says, “We wanted to make it a performing arts center. It had been
done in Klamath Falls, Salem, Medford and all
across America. When you rejuvenate theatres like
this, it brings downtowns back.”
In 1991, OCF gave two initial $15,000 grants to fund

later, Forrester and others formed the 501(c)(3)
Liberty Restoration, Inc. In 2000, the organization
acquired the theatre, which it closed two years
later for renovation, then celebrated its grand
opening in 2005 with a Pink Martini concert.
Much was accomplished in the theatre’s first five
years of renovation. The 655-seat-auditorium’s
chandelier was cleaned and its ornamental plaster rosette repaired
and repainted. The replica glass canopy replaced the movie-theatre
marquee; the roof returned to its red-clay-tile roots; and the kiosk’s
copper top, long-ago discarded, was discovered, intact, in a farmer’s
barn. The stage was extended outward and new seats were installed.
Walls and ceilings got fresh coats of paint, and original oils by local
artist Joseph Nowles were touched up.
“What a brilliant venue!” Rocky Blumhagen, Portland Chamber
Orchestra baritone, writes. “The acoustics are incredible, the restoration, so beautifully done and with lights and professional sound, it
was a marvelous place to sing ‘Music of the Night’ from ‘Phantom’!”
The North Coast Symphonic Band (NCSB) is so happy with the Liberty Theatre that it’s scheduled all five of its current, 35th-season

Along with auditorium fees,
Liberty Theatre also brings in
revenues from its street-level
store and restaurant leases, and second-floor rentals.
Up here, the elegant McTavish Room invites weddings,
concerts and conferences.
The Paulson Pavilion, with its
movable walls, added 5,000
square feet to the theatre for classrooms, small meeting and
reception spaces, and a dance studio for the Astoria School
of Ballet. “This income, from 178 event days per year, brings in
80 percent at current staffing levels. So the board’s fundraising
need is only 20 percent,” says Baker-Monaghan.
The community also benefits. The Liberty Theatre attracts
more events in town, since the Astoria Music Festival also
presents performances at a local church and the community college; and the Astoria Armory offers up a full calendar.
Out-of-town visitors coming to shows fill the hotels, like the
restored, upscale-boutique Elliott Hotel, joining other recent
property renovations inspired by the Liberty Theatre’s. Wherever they’re from, audience members also boost restaurant
and retail businesses, their numbers only growing.
“It’s great to see Astoria so changed, in part because of the
new Liberty Theatre,” says Baker-Monaghan. “It’s also wonderful to impact even one person, like the 10-year-old who came
to a Tears of Joy Theatre puppet show. He had his own marionette draped over his shoulder and said as he walked in, ‘I’m
so excited to be here! This is what I’m all about.’ We made a
difference to him. And that’s what we’re all about.”

state planner Kathy Evans doesn’t just help her clients give
back to the community: She leads by example. She donates
to the Campaign for Equal Justice and Family Building
Blocks, and has volunteered with the Boys & Girls Club Foundation, the Salem Foundation, and, until the local branch closed, the
YWCA. A Salem resident for over 30 years, Kathy enjoys contributing what she can. “Salem is a nice size,” she says. “The community
is close-knit, it’s a good place to raise a family and practicing law
here has always been a pleasure.”
Many of Kathy’s clients at Evans Batlan, the firm she shares with her
daughter Celia Batlan and son-in-law Russ Getchell, feel a similar compulsion to give back.

clients to OCF because “over
the years, OCF has just been a
great partner. They help people to see what choices are available
to them.” She and her clients also appreciate OCF’s adaptability.
“Specific charities change or disappear, but OCF will ensure that
a client’s wishes are applied in the long run — it’s very appealing
for them to have a mechanism, a conduit, for supporting a cause
indefinitely after their death. And I tell my clients what I believe:
OCF is a well-run organization that will be a good steward of
their money.”

Following Their Passions

ative Oregonians and Salem residents
Lila and Wilbur Jackson aren’t your average octogenarians. At 83 and 85, they still work
out for an hour each day at the Courthouse
gym. They love getting outside: They
hike regularly, most recently on the
north fork of the Santiam, and they’ll
be taking their college-age granddaughter camping in a few weeks.
“We’ll need to dig out the old camp
stove and Dutch oven,” Lila says. And
they’ve been bitten by an adventurous
strain of the travel bug: For a number
of years, they guided multiweek hikes
and bike tours across Europe, a job
they did while on summer vacation from their
teaching and school counseling careers.
Now retired, they’re living a life full of things
that matter to them. Their passions for the environment and for children’s education and
wellness drive them to engage deeply with
26 THE Oregon Community Foundation
their community. Lila serves on the Salem
Parks Foundation board, and Lila and Wilbur
have volunteered with their church, built and
maintained hiking trails with the Chemeketans,
and mentored and fostered children through
Stand for Children and
Family Building Blocks.
They also have a fund
at OCF, which they love
because it “helps us invest in the things that
are important to us. Investing in our kids is the
best insurance we can
have for a safe, productive and wholesome
future society, and as for the environment, if
we don’t pay attention, we’ll lose a lot of really good things that improve our world.” They
were thrilled to start their OCF fund, Lila adds.
“OCF is right on the cutting edge and does a
great job of managing the money wisely.”

orthern Willamette Regional Leadership Council
member Mark Burnham may be relatively new to
OCF, but he’s no stranger to volunteering — he’s been
doing it for most of his life. When he and his wife Cheryl
moved to Salem, for example, Mark jumped at the opportunity to join the Boys & Girls Club board. He’s been
serving with them for 14 years now and is ardent about
their work.
Working with OCF also excites him. “I find OCF offers
great opportunities. For example, the OCF Latino Partnership Program gives us a significant chance to work
for reconciliation and a positive outcome. OCF just has
so much capacity and range across the state.”
The importance of community within OCF’s mission
also dovetails perfectly with Mark’s own philosophy
of service. “Over time, as you get a little older and a
little more involved, you learn that you don’t know
how to receive until you know how to give,” Mark
explains. “You acquire a better sense of belonging
and well-being, and a sense of happiness in making
things better.”

hen abused and battered women and their
children in Coos Bay flee domestic violence,
they’ll find the security and support they
need at the town’s Women’s Safety & Resource Center
(WSRC). Whether people stay for only a night or up to
several months, Bill and Ann Lansing also want them to
have comfortable beds to sleep in.
“I’m overwhelmed with
gratitude for the Lansings
coming to help us. There
are people out there
who really care, and it
makes my job helping the
victims who come here
even more worth it.”
Sandy Hamrick,
Shelter Advocate at WSRC
Last November, the Coos
Bay couple recommended
an $8,000 grant through
their fund at The Oregon
Community Foundation for
24 brand-new beds. The
12 bunk beds replace the
old ones, six in each of the
WSRC’s big, two-story Cloe
House and Jane’s House.
Their gift also pays for new
mattresses, mattress pads
and eight dressers.
“We didn’t expect this at
all,” says Sara Swartling,
executive director of the WSRC. “It’s great to be able
to offer a comfortable and safe place for these ladies.
That’s huge for them — and they deserve it, because
they’re worth it. And also to know that they’ll have that,
even if they come for just a couple of nights to recover before they choose to go back into the storm, which
sometimes they do.”

The beds were sorely needed. The old ones didn’t have ladders attached to them, and climbing up and down the back
was unsafe. And their thick wood frames took up so much
space the bedrooms felt too crowded. The new, metal-framed
bunk beds come with ladders, and give residents more room
to walk around and to store their suitcases and duffle bags.
One woman who recently sought emergency shelter at
WSRC says anonymously, “The whole situation for me is
uncomfortable, but the new beds kind of eased it. And it’s
nice that the staff are trying to make it more homey here.”
Sandy Hamrick, shelter advocate at WSRC, is just as grateful. She says, “When I meet victims who’ve been beat up
and don’t look you in the eye, and they’re so scared and
timid, and then I bring them in the house and someone’s

People needn’t face a crisis to benefit from the WSRC. Along
with a restful place to sleep, staff here help abused women (and sometimes men) and their children become more
aware of and learn how to best respond to violence — and
prevent it altogether — and reclaim their rightful places in
the world. But it doesn’t stop here. The WSRC also partners
with other community service organizations and individuals, offering additional help to the women. Educating the
community about abuse and healthier choices to enrich
one’s life is also an important part of the WSRC’s work.
Several years ago, while the Lansings were creating
their family’s estate plan, their advisors suggested a
donor-advised fund at OCF. Always concerned with the
needs of local children, the couple wanted to focus their

philanthropy on them, first, and then on disadvantaged
families and social and culture opportunities. Bill, retired
since 2006, has a long history of giving to the community.
Under his leadership as president and CEO of Menasha
Forest Products Corporation in North Bend, Oregon, the
company was one of the most generous of all the timber
operators in the area, donating to local organizations and
schools. Bill, a twice-named “Citizen of the Year,” has also
served on many community-shaping boards and committees, and has volunteered for local organizations and
the Southwestern Oregon Community College. In 2008,
he and Ann established their fund with OCF.
“OCF gave us a seamless way to give, now and into the
future. It pointed us toward concerns that we’re not connected with, which helps us give back in areas we wouldn’t
otherwise know about. The women’s shelter fell into this
category,” he says. “Ann and I felt that a larger gift to just
one organization would have a greater impact than smaller gifts to multiple recipients. And we’d rather give money
for physical assets than for operational expenses. The new
beds aren’t a solution to end all solutions for these women,
but we hope they can give them a hand up by helping them
gain back some dignity, leading them to opportunities to
further enhance their lives.”

An Investment in Our Future

ars and yellow buses pull up, and kids spill out and into the big blue
building. Whether they’re middle school students arriving on the
“club” buses or younger ones dropped off by grown-ups, more than
400 children a day know that fun and friends await them in a safe and welcoming place at the Boys & Girls Club in Grants Pass.
They are there in part thanks to funds from The
Oregon Community Foundation and generous donors like Chuck Womer and Barbara Bean. The two
friends have given to the club privately and through
OCF since 2002 and 2003, respectively. Diann Gilbertson, executive director of the Boys & Girls Clubs
of the Rogue Valley, says, “Their donations are extremely important because our organization is almost
fully supported by gifts. Without them, we wouldn’t
be able to keep our doors open. Also invaluable is
their personal, hands-on involvement in the club, and
spreading the word about its importance in the community. They’re two of our best cheerleaders.”

More than 3,000 members enjoy the Rogue Valley’s largest club site in
Grants Pass and its two others at Talent Elementary School in Talent and
Evergreen Elementary School in Cave Junction. “Barbara and Chuck believe in the club’s mission to provide year-round positive, fun and safe
places for all kids, helping them to build self-esteem and develop skills
necessary to make right choices, becoming responsible and productive
citizens,” says Gilbertson.

“My parents were very giving people and I was raised to be the same,” Womer says.
“They taught us that when we became financially capable of sharing, we should.
I’m living comfortably, and therefore I can afford to give some of my resources to
those who don’t have the opportunities like I did. And children are the future.”
That’s why they have been the focus of his donations. Some of his grants have
gone to the Illinois Valley Club, the branch of the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Rogue
Valley in rural Cave Junction. “That’s a community that doesn’t have the support
that we get in Grants Pass.” He asks that his money be

pating to know that it’s helping them.” They’re playing
volleyball and learning wilderness survival skills, taking
ukulele lessons and acting in plays, getting help with reading and money management, eating healthy meals for free, and just plain hanging out.
Ten-year-old Neveh says, “The Boys & Girls Club has done a lot of stuff for me,
like give me food, and a place to do my homework and have fun with my friends.”
Emilio, age 9, loves the club “because the staff are nice and it’s a good place for
kids to be safe.”
For 32 years, the Grants Pass branch, which started out as a boys boxing club,
operated out of a National Guard Quonset hut. Then in September 2002, the club
received its first OCF grant of $25,000 to build a new, 30,000-square-foot site,
triple the size of the old one. The following year, Bean, who chaired the capital
campaign, and her late husband, Bob, added their personal donation to those

dollars. “Without their enthusiasm and generosity, we
probably wouldn’t have built the Grants Pass Club until
years after,” says Gilbertson.
Children involved in any of the Valley’s Boys & Girls
Clubs don’t have to worry about not getting enough
to eat, which is often the case at home. In 2014, the
organization served 92,000 free dinners. “The meals
encourage the kids to come to the club. When they
do, they go to school. And when they stay in school
they do better, academically, and graduate. There’s
a direct relationship between club engagement and
higher graduation rates,” she continues.
Along the way, the club’s mentors and community
service projects help middle and high school students
develop skills and character. Gilbertson says, “It’s extremely encouraging to see a young person who, at
first, has no belief in themselves, and then becomes
empowered to be great — and dream to become anything they want to be.”
That’s what it’s all about for Bean and Womer. They
had their own childhood dreams once, and made
the most of opportunities that came their way in life.
Now they generously give back. But doing good does
more than help others. As these two OCF donors will
tell you, it also feels good.

ugene high school students John Gillilan
and Tim Torrey both loved to play sports.
So when both young men died in motor
vehicle accidents a few years apart, each set of
parents set up memorial funds to benefit student
athletes. But upon realizing a shared concern —
the per-sport annual fee that each child had to
pay the school district — they merged the funds.
“The fee is often unaffordable for families,” says
Tim’s father, former Eugene mayor Jim Torrey.
The boys’ fund now pays the fee for low-income
families and helps with equipment, uniforms
and other expenses at Sheldon High School.

extracurricular sports,” John’s father Rod Gillilan

Working with clients on charitable giving is one of Ellen’s favorite parts of the job, she says. “I think they’re grateful for their
own good fortune. They want to share, to have an effect on
issues they care deeply about, and to have a positive influence in the community.” She often tells her clients about OCF;
its flexibility matches her clients’ diverse wishes. “Some of my
clients want to give during life, while others want to create legacy gifts in their wills or trusts; some appreciate recognition,
while others prefer to remain anonymous.” The variety of options available through OCF “has been really great in helping
my clients achieve their goals,” she explains. “They like that
we can work with OCF to design a plan that fits them, and that
OCF provides a cost-efficient structure to take care of the administrative work.”
