Central Oregon’s annual year-end giving campaign is back, and it comes at an important time for the community. Beginning November 6, community members can visit centraloregongives.com to support more than 80 local nonprofit organizations working to strengthen the heart of our region during these trying times for nonprofits.
From tackling affordable housing and supporting mental health services to rescuing animals, protecting our environment, and fueling local food banks, Central Oregon Gives remains the region’s most comprehensive and engaging philanthropic platform. Donors can explore each nonprofit’s mission and contribute directly to the causes that mean the most to them—all from one easy-to-use online hub.
Returning in 2025!
The campaign continues to grow with the Family Giving initiative, designed to inspire the next generation of donors. Families can involve their kids in decision-making, and young donors (under 21) can select a special checkbox to be eligible for this year’s Family Giving Incentive, provided by Mountain Burger, which offers a free dirty soda during the campaign.
This year’s campaign is supported by generous local sponsors, including First Interstate Bank, the category sponsor for Basic Needs. In total, $30,000 in bonus prize funding is available to nonprofits that raise the most in their respective categories.
For every donation of $25 or more, donors also receive a thank-you incentive from a local business—ranging from a cup of coffee or pint of beer to wellness passes or dining discounts. Incentives rotate weekly, encouraging donors to check back often and continue giving throughout the season.

- Backporch Coffee
- Pinky G’s Pizzeria
- Stoller Wine
