Foundation
About
The Eugene Active 20-30 Foundation is dedicated to supporting non-profit organizations that provide assistance and services to the children of the Lane County, Oregon region. Founded in 1997, the Foundation, a 501 (c)(3), is closely allied with the Eugene Active 20-30 Club, which was founded in 1927. The Foundation employs no professional fundraiser. Instead, its charitable events are planned, organized, and staffed by the Eugene Active 20-30 Club members and other volunteers. This limits the cost of the fundraisers to the direct hard costs of the material and supplies of the events, thereby ensuring that the maximum amount is available for meeting the Foundation's purpose in supporting child welfare in our community.
Since its inception in 1997, and in addition to all of the funds donated by the Eugene Active 20-30 Club, the Foundation has provided grants totaling over $100,000 to special needs children. The main projects that have contributed to the Foundation are House for Kids, Golf Marathon and Oscar Sunday.
The Foundation's nine member independent Board of Directors has the sole authority to guide the foundation with two objectives in mind: 1) support child welfare in the community on a current basis and 2) develop the financial resources to ensure a stable source of funding for the child welfare efforts in the future. The Foundation and its Board's alliance with the Eugene Active 20-30 Club ensures that it will always be able to tap into the dynamic and vibrant core of Eugene's up and coming civic leaders.
