Building a Stronger Panhandle, Together
For nearly 50 years, the Oregon Trail Community Foundation has connected generous donors with real community needs. From scholarships and healthcare to the arts, history, environment, and recreation, we’re dedicated to enriching lives across the Panhandle. Every gift is carefully stewarded to create lasting impact—today, tomorrow, and for generations to come.

Your donation is tax deductible
and so very appreciated.
The Sandhills Fire has left families, ranchers, and entire communities facing devastating loss. Homes, livelihoods, and landscapes that have stood for generations are now forever changed — and the road to recovery will be long.
If you’re able, please consider donating to support the individuals and families impacted by the Sandhills Fire. Every contribution — big or small — helps provide immediate relief and long‑term recovery for our neighbors who need it most. When our community comes together, hope always rises from the ashes.
The OTCF will be donating these funds to agencies who are on the front line and know the needs and the best way to help immediately. Your contribution is appreciated.
Thank you for being the kind of neighbor that cares deeply and acts boldly.




Grantmaking
Where giving becomes legacy
OTCF proudly contributes millions of dollars in grants to projects within our Valley, thanks to the generosity of various donor-advised funds and donations to the Foundation.
As a community foundation, we have multiple funds designed for specific purposes—some aligned with donor priorities, others addressing community needs, and some dedicated to individual scholarships.
Our mission is to empower individuals, families, businesses, and nonprofits to support the causes they care about, both locally and beyond. Together, we can make a meaningful impact in our community.
