This month, Oregon Shores is launching Fortify Our Future, a campaign to help stabilize our organization and protect the coast at a time of real financial uncertainty. As public funding for environmental work becomes less reliable, we are facing an immediate gap that must be bridged to keep this work moving forward with strength.

Our goal is to raise $500,000 by the end of August, and thanks to early supporters, we are already 22% of the way there. Every gift will help sustain urgent work across the coast, from community science and youth education to estuary advocacy and shoreline protection. We are meeting this moment with resilience, courage, and community. Donate today: https://oregonshores.org/donate/
