Animal Aid Endowment

For over 50 years Animal Aid has been dedicated to the health and welfare of companion animals in our community. As we look to the next 50 years and beyond, we want to ensure our ability to continue to care and advocate for animals and the people who love them. To this end, we have created the Animal Aid Endowment Fund at Oregon Community Foundation.

This endowment gives our donors the opportunity to designate a gift to this permanent fund and ensure future operating funds for our work. You can find additional details on common ways to give to endowment here. Please note that all endowment donations are processed directly through Animal Aid (not the Oregon Community Foundation). Our team is excited to talk with you about this opportunity, please reach out to our Executive Director at director@animalaidpdx.org for more information. 

Animal Aid Endowment Founder’s Circle

 In 2022 Animal Aid created the Endowment Fund with an initial allocation from our own savings and reached out to major donors who have been able to help form the initial $100,000+ deposit to the Endowment Fund. We are very grateful to our Founders’ Circle Members: 

Tina Arth
Janet & Charles Black
The Huiras Foundation
Barbara Lefebvre Pope Bequest
Karl Studnicka & Emi Oshima

The Founder’s Circle donors all committed $10,000 or more to the establishment of the Fund. We are keeping the Founder’s Circle open through December 31, 2024 and welcome additional members. You can find additional details for the Founders’ Circle here.
