“I am genuinely inspired by Oregon Community Foundation and its vision for our state and its residents. This is the fifth largest community foundation in the country, and yet many Oregonians know little about its impact. OCF has been making a real difference for Oregonians for years and is poised to go even deeper. Oregon is our home. We’re raising our family here. It’s an honor to contribute to OCF’s efforts to help our state fulfill its potential by making progress on the challenges we face together.”
