The Klamath Community Foundation's mission is to make the Basin area a better place for today and tomorrow. It works by connecting donors' passion, money, and ideas through charitable funds, which generate steady income. It aims to reduce legal and investment costs for donors and nonprofits, ensuring more funds go toward local causes, thus enhancing the quality of life in the Klamath Basin area.
The grant program focuses on awarding grants to Klamath Basin non-profit organizations that build community assets and respond to changing community needs, thereby strengthening the community. The areas of grant making include enhancing health and human services, strengthening neighborhoods and community development, advancing education, supporting children, youth and families, promoting arts and culture including historic preservation, protecting the environment, and meeting animal welfare needs.
