Foundation Mission Statement

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 funds value each year to benefit our youth and community.

The Foundation provides a community service by managing endowments for individuals, families and organizations in Corvallis, Philomath, Monroe, Alsea, North Albany, Adair Village and throughout Benton County.
