     Established in 1998, the Clatskanie Foundation is a private, non-profit, tax- exempt Oregon Corporation established by Clatskanie citizens to provide a vehicle through which tax-deductible gifts, contributions and bequests can be used to benefit our local community, with no administrative costs.

     The Clatskanie Foundation accepts gifts, contributions and bequests which can be designated specifically as restricted funds for a particular use, or unrestricted funds where the disbursement decision remains with the Board of Directors.

     Also operating under the Clatskanie Foundation are the Clatskanie Oral History Project and the Clatskanie Character Committee.
