Oregon Conservation Corps
The Oregon Conservation Corps (OCC) grants funding to organizations across the state to aid in reducing wildfire risk to communities while providing workforce training to the next generation of land managers.

Leveraging Public-Private Partnerships
When OCC was established in 2021, the Oregon Legislature earmarked $1 million dollars available to match private donations raised by June 30, 2023. For every $1 dollar donated in private funds, the state will invest $5, until the $1 million cap is reached.
The Oregon Community Foundation (OCF) is assisting our mission to raise matching funds by providing a secure platform to donate dollars that can be matched by the state. Donations through OCF are tax deductible and support OCC projects.
