Oregon Wildlife Heritage Foundation Fund

Earnings from the Oregon Wildlife Heritage Foundation Fund support our Beulah Drake Grant Program and help us sponsor larger projects for fish, wildlife, habitat, and public access.

Create Your Own!

Imagine an endowment fund that provides ongoing financial support to the Oregon species, area, program or agency that matters most to you. We have options to fit almost every interest and budget.

Named Fund

What is it about Oregon's natural resources that matters most to you or someone you love? Annual distributions from your named fund go to the interest you designate. The minimum gift level for a named fund is $25,000.

Donor-Advised Fund

You tell us each year how you want earnings from your named fund distributed to one or several interests. The minimum gift level for a donor-advised fund is $50,000.

Seed Fund

Don't have the minimum gift needed to create a named fund right now? You can still get started by making an initial gift of $5,000 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.

Spend-down Funds

Already have a fish, wildlife, or access project in mind?  Create a spend-down fund with us to support completion of your near-term project. This is not an endowed funds but assets made available for immediate distribution. We'll manage the dollars for you.  Nominal administrative fees apply.
