Every year we need volunteers to help with our Watershed Festival, a family-focused community event, and our Barn Dance, a fundraising dinner. If interested in volunteering you time for these events, please contact us.

One of the easiest ways to increase your gift to Wallowa Resources is through your employer's matching gift program. Thousands of companies, include corporations, foundations, and non-profits, match their employees' charitable contributions – sometimes for a much as double the amount of the initial gift.

Companies have various methods for matching gift request submissions: online forms, automated phone systems, or a paper form that you submit to Wallowa Resources. Companies may also match gifts from employee spouses, retirees, and board members.

Here's how to participate
