Our Mission
The Oregon Trail Community Foundation serves our community as a catalyst for community projects, promotes the spirit of charitable giving, and responds to community needs as a trusted steward of long-term gift arrangements
-
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.
-
One of the great attributes of a community foundation is its ability to fit the needs of the citizens’ benevolent desires by simplifying the process to create a fund. The community foundation affords one a low cost alternative to setting up his or her foundation or a trust in a bank.
-
There are many ways to remember your loved one with the OTCF: as a charitable gift via the Book of Memories or in a Scholarship bearing your loved one's name (some restrictions apply).

"Monument Prevention has had a close relationship with OTCF since 2012. They have been our fiscal agent since then and we are so thankful that we have this partnership. Cathy and Tera are so willing and available to answer any questions we may have. We are a small organization, but they treat us as equal importance as those larger organizations. OTCF has been a godsend for these last 12 years." - Lanette Richards, Executive Director - Monument Prevention Morrill County Prevention
