Environment Grantmaking

Our Focus

We aim to protect and restore Oregon’s Mount Hood. A deep history and connection with the Mount Hood National Forest region drive our devotion to protect its natural beauty and resources. Our family homestead is in Parkdale, just minutes from the national forest and in constant view of the mountain, and it is a family tradition to trek to the top of Mount Hood at least once in a lifetime. Our goal is to preserve the resiliency of Mount Hood’s river and forest ecosystems for the benefit of current and future generations.

Who We Support

We fund creative environmental restoration and advocacy programs that protect and restore native ecosystems on and around Mount Hood. The environment program requires that the applicant organization work in the geographic region of Oregon’s Mount Hood or the Columbia River Gorge.

OUR MEASURABLE OBJECTIVES

Forests

Prevent old growth harvesting, double the amount of forestland with habitat protections, and encourage wildfire prevention methods that revitalize and maintain vibrant older forests.

Rivers & Streams

Preserve cool and clean water that supports abundant fish and wildlife populations and provides quality drinking water for local communities.

Partnerships

We build and maintain quality relationships with our grantee partners that share our values and do the hard work. Our successes can only be measured through how well we are able to support them.
