Creswell First!
Our Community Foundation
Encourages
Creswell First! was created to help encourage and facilitate helpful projects in Creswell, Oregon.
Helps
We are a community foundation intended to help local projects succeed.
Structures
We have gone through the time and cost of becoming a non-profit 501(c)3 corporation so that qualifying short term or long term projects can exist under our umbrella.
Our Mission
Connecting people who care with causes that matter for the betterment of Creswell.
Connecting
In addition to our donor advised funds and regular work:
- Be a resource or directing people to resources that exist.
- Encourage co-sponsorships and co-promotion.
- Act as a neutral convener, when needed promoting the betterment of Creswell when our town or its people are faced with challenges.
