Make a Sustaining Gift
A sustaining gift is the best way to provide consistent support for Oregon Humanities’ statewide work. Your monthly or quarterly donation helps start conversations across difference that grow into new relationships and stronger, more connected communities.
Make a One-Time Gift
Deliver Oregon Humanities magazine in Burns, start a conversation in Prineville, or connect neighbors in Newport by making a donation today. Every gift makes a difference.
The Leadership Giving Circle
The Oregon Humanities Leadership Giving Circle is a group of visionary Oregonians who give $500 or more annually to sustain Oregon Humanities’ work to create a more imaginative, welcoming, and just Oregon. Read more about the Leadership Giving Circle.
Employer Matching Gifts
Many companies offer matching gift programs to encourage employees to support charitable organizations. Some companies match dollar for dollar, doubling the impact of your gift. If your company is eligible, request a matching gift form from your employer and send it completed and signed with your gift. We will take care of the rest.
Donor-Advised Funds
As a donor, you have the option to direct your gifts to Oregon Humanities through a donor-advised fund (DAF). A DAF is a centralized charitable account that enables donors to recommend how much and how often money is granted to qualified charities, streamlining your giving while maximizing your impact. These funds are an increasingly popular way to make charitable giving easier and often come with immediate tax deductions. Contact us or visit the Oregon Community Foundation's website to learn more.
