What is The Gold Beach Community Fund designed to do?
The Fund gives everyone an opportunity to provide tax-deductible financial support through donations and estate planned bequests that directly benefit our community.

Guided by a five member Board of local residents and administered by the Oregon Community Foundation (OCF), the Gold Beach Community Fund’s objective is to provide grant funds for deserving local endeavors, in areas related to:
- Recreational activity and facility development
- Opportunities for cultural enhancement
- Technical assistance and vocational projects
- Academic and lifestyle improvements
- Restoration of environmental assets
- Youth-related facilities and activities
Tax Deductible Donations
The fund is administered by the Oregon Community Foundation (OCF) under contractual agreement with the Fund’s Board of Directors. Under IRS Code 501(c)(3), OCF was incorporated to qualify as an exempt organization; and operates exclusively for the purpose of administrating charitable funds. The assets of the fund are held and invested by OCF which annually distributes back a portion of the Fund to be used solely in support of community projects, at the discretion of the Fund’s Board of Directors.
