TIP is a group of specially trained citizen volunteers who provide emotional aid and practical support and resources to victims of traumatic events and their families in the first few hours following a tragedy.

National Historic Site, One-Room Schoolhouse: Nestled in the trees north of Corvallis, Oregon, the historic Soap Creek Schoolhouse stands as a reminder of the time when one room was enough to make a school. Built in 1935 during the depression when schools were built closer together to accommodate the children who walked to school, this well-preserved schoolhouse allows the visitor to step back in time to a by-gone era. The primary purpose of the Soap Creek Schoolhouse Foundation is to maintain the building in ways that are consistent with its architecture and period.

Saving Grace, Inc. is a 501(c)3 private, non-profit organization dedicated to the direct care of homeless, abandoned or neglected animals in Douglas County, Oregon. Our mission is to provide temporary refuge, basic veterinary care and a pathway home for companion animals who are homeless in Douglas County so that we may create a more humane community. We are the county’s only full-service open-admission animal shelter, providing shelter, food and medical care to thousands of animals each year.​ Beyond the basics, each animal receives compassionate care from our staff and volunteers while they wait to be reunited with their families or to find a new home. Warm blankets, toys and treats, time spent socializing with caring people; all are a part of the animals’ experience at Saving Grace. We look forward to growing along with our community and being able to offer more programs geared towards keeping pets and their people together. With your help, we can make Douglas County a more humane place for people and pets.

The youth group from Saint Mark Lutheran Church in Salem, Oregon, has a specific need for fundraising right now (Spring 2018). We are working to raise funds so that our youth can attend the National Youth Gathering in Houston, TX, in June 2018. Coming from a church with a very small youth presence locally, there is something special that happens when you connect with HUNDREDS of other youth from across the country who share similar beliefs and values. In the future, we would use funds from this account to continue to support the activities of the Saint Mark Youth Group.
