Creating a Fund

Starting right now, you can make an impact on fish and wildlife conservation in Oregon by donating to the Oregon Wildlife Foundation.

If your interest is in the conservation of a specific species, habitat type, region of Oregon, or program consider creating a fund to support it. You can start a fund with Oregon Wildlife Foundation with as little as $10,000, Investment proceeds are dedicated to the long-term conservation of the wildlife and wild places that make Oregon special to you. 

Named Fund

The Fiske family created a donor fund to support projects in the Deschutes River basin. What will you do for Oregon's natural resources in your name or that of someone you love? Annual distributions from your named fund go to the interest area you designate. The minimum gift level for a named fund is $100,000.

Seed Fund

Don't have the minimum gift needed to create a named fund right now? You can get started by making an initial gift of $10,000 and the same each year thereafter to build your named fund.  Once the threshold amount is reached through annual gifts and appreciation, your named fund is created.

Flow-Through Fund

Tremaine Arkley and Anne Steele created the Willamette Habitat Restoration Fund to provide private funding support to Willamette Valley's habitat restoration and education projects. Do you have a fish, wildlife, or access project in mind?

Create a flow-through fund with us to support the completion of your near-term project. This is not an endowed fund but assets made available for immediate distribution. We'll manage the dollars for you.
