Discover Your Forest joins in Giving Tuesday

#OregoniansGive on #GivingTuesday is Tuesday, November 29, and Discover Your Forest is excited to be participating! The purpose of #OregoniansGive day is to celebrate Oregon’s nonprofit’s and increase Oregonian’s philanthropy over a 24-hour day.

I hope that you are planning to cover #OregoniansGive and share this important day with your audience. “#OregoniansGive is an opportunity to celebrate our state’s true spirit,” said Agnes Zach, Executive Director, Willamette Valley Development Officers. “#OregoniansGive lets us take a day to celebrate generosity. We have the chance to focus on the amazing work taking place in nonprofits and charities across the state – from Pendleton to Grants Pass, Portland to Klamath Falls – and give back. We encourage all nonprofits throughout the state of Oregon to sign up and join us for this day of gratitude.”

This year, Discover Your Forest’s goal is to sell 50 memberships on Giving Tuesday. Discover Your Forest’s drive can help bring to life an example of the impact that a nonprofit has in our community.

In partnership with the US Forest Service, Discover Your Forest provides free educational programming for over 6,000 school children annually throughout the Deschutes and Ochoco National Forests. In addition, Discover Your Forest supports over 2,000 volunteers in the Deschutes National Forest and interacts with over 200,000 visitors per year. Funds raised at this event will go directly to supporting programs and visitor services on the Deschutes National Forest.
