  • Gift Memberships: Make a gift in honor of or in memory of someone you love.
  • Business Memberships: Learn more about the benefits of supporting OEC with your business and direct your generous donations to the areas of greatest need. 
  • Legacy Giving: Leaving a gift to OEC in your will or estate plans honors your commitment to protecting Oregon’s future and can provide savings on capital gains taxes and estate taxes.

  • Gifts of Stock: We welcome gifts of stock and securities. Please call 503-222-1963 or send an email to info@oeconline.org for stock transfer information.

When thinking about your year-end giving, be sure to look into the CARES Act to ensure you are taking advantage of the potential financial benefits you can receive by helping organizations like OEC. With your help, we will continue to provide bold and effective solutions to environmental challenges and to build a healthier future for us all in 2021 and beyond.
