Who We Are

A private, non-profit, 51(c)3, tax exempt Oregon Corporation

“Kindling the Light of Giving & Culture”

It all started when…

A group of local citizens established The Clatskanie Foundation in 1998 with the mission to: enhance the economic vitality and quality of life in the Clatskanie community by establishing and supporting local programs and projects, with an emphasis on education; by providing scholarships to deserving local applicants, and by operating the Clatskanie Cultural Center for the benefit of the community, offering affordable cultural opportunities for all age groups.

Since that time it has served as a vehicle through which tax-deductible donations have benefited our local community in many ways including: local scholarships, Heritage Days, the Boosters Club and more.

Gifts, contributions and bequests of any size are welcomed. They may be designated for a particular purpose, or applied to various programs and projects as decided by the Board of Directors.

We encourage you to visit your attorney, accountant or estate planner to arrange a tax-deductible donation.
