MEMBERSHIP REWARDS
The Oregon Trail Community Foundation is recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a 501C-3 charitable organization and as such, donations to the Foundation are tax deductible. Membership dues are considered a donation. Unlike a “for profit” corporation, a foundation has no stockholders. Voting members control the Foundation by electing a slate of directors each year and by occasionally voting to change the “By- Laws.”

Elected Directors meet once every two months to review the financials, approve grants, review investments, etc. The Board of Directors appoints an “Executive Committee” who meets every month to handle the day-to-day needs of the Foundation.

Our membership is not large, but includes many leaders in the communities. The integrity and personal successes of our members give the Foundation its validity. To maintain public trust, foundations must have high standards of integrity, honesty and trustworthiness. Donors and their lawyers and accountants must be assured that the foundation will carry out their wishes and carefully preserve
their contributions.

The Board of Directors hopes that you will consider becoming a “voting member.” It is the Board’s intention to use most of the “dues” for grants in the communities we serve. A community foundation serves as a way that citizens can leave money or assets for the betterment of their community.

Please review the different levels of membership and the benefits of each. Please act today by printing and cutting out and sending in the Annual Membership Form. Your annual membership will run for twelve months from the date we receive your check.
