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.

Grants
OTCF has awarded nearly 7 million dollars in grants to projects in our Valley from various funds, donations and memberships. As a community foundation, we hold multiple funds with specified purposes. Some of those funds are focused on a priority area as defined by a donor,
other are in response to community needs, and others are for individual scholarships.
