Big news from the Crooked River Roundup Foundation!
We’re excited to share that the Crooked River Roundup Foundation is now the Rural Oregon Community Foundation.
While the name and website are changing, our mission and leadership remain the same. This transition allows us to expand our reach and better support multiple organizations across rural Oregon, while continuing our strong partnership with the Crooked River Roundup.
The Rural Oregon Community Foundation will remain closely affiliated with the Roundup and will be launching projects both with CRR and other local organizations — including our upcoming June Dinner & Dance and more community initiatives ahead.
This name change helps clarify our role for grant opportunities and allows us to bring even more resources back into the rural communities we love.
Same heart. Same people. Bigger impact for Rural Oregon.
Stay tuned — exciting things are coming!

Wishing y’all a very Merry Christmas from all of us at the Crooked River Roundup Foundation!

With heartfelt thanks, we celebrate the Crooked River Roundup Foundation’s role in preserving the Western way of life.
This year, we’ve broadened our reach with additional community events, scholarships and engaging programs such as Boots & Roots, where grade schoolers explore agricultural careers and learn about rodeos and their food’s origins. Our passion for farming, ranching, animal welfare and rodeo thrives because of this vibrant community involvement.
In this season of giving, if you have the means to do so, your donations mean everything to our foundation!
$5,000 sends 400 4th & 5th graders to Boots & Roots where they learn about the Western Way of Life.
$2,000 provides for a scholarship for Central Oregon kids pursuing learning in farming, ranching, animal welfare and rodeo.
$250 helps us pay entry fees for Central Oregon rodeo kids going to the NFR.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your generosity. Your participation in our Year End Giving Campaign is crucial, and remember, your contributions are tax-deductible and vital for our growth.
