Earth Share of Oregon has now raised $8 million dollars for its member groups in more than 115 workplaces since 1989.  That ranks them 3rd in the nation behind the large population states of California and Texas.  “Earth Share of Oregon is an ideal vehicle for aware but busy Oregonians who want to help ensure that Oregon’s legacy of beauty lives on,” says Kevin Gorman, Executive Director of Friends of the Columbia Gorge and former Environmental Federation of Oregon Board President. “There is a conservation ethic in Oregon that has kept this state beautiful while other states long ago lost their luster.”

“Our contributors and member organizations have preserved irreplaceable natural resources across the state during a time of tremendous pressure. With continued backing from community, Earth Share of Oregon will carry on this valuable work,” says Trudy Toliver, Earth Share of Oregon’s Executive Director. ” For 18 years we have been a catalyst for thousands of caring citizens to support organizations preserve the environment.  Earth Share is an effective way to support outstanding environmental organizations working in our neighborhoods, our cities, our nation, and around the world,” Toliver adds.

This fundraising achievement makes Earth Share of Oregon one of the most successful environmental federations in the nation, with revenues growing an average of 8% each year. Earth Share of Oregon is an independent 501(c)(3) organization.

The accomplishments of our member organizations are even more impressive.
