Benton County’s “Community Foundation”
The Benton County Foundation began in 1953 as a community foundation. Our mission is to build community philanthropy by establishing endowments, prudently investing the funds received, and distributing a portion of the fund value each year to benefit our youth and community. The Foundation provides a community service in Corvallis, Philomath, Monroe, Alsea, North Albany, Adair Village and throughout Benton County by managing over 220 endowments for individuals, families and organizations. The Foundation approved distributions totaling $500,000 in 2011 to support local non-profit agencies and student scholarships!
