The McKenzie River Gathering Foundation (MRG Foundation) pools the financial resources of Oregon's progressive community and distributes it back to grassroots groups working on a variety of social change issues. MRG Foundation's activist controlled decision making process is unique. We recruit board and grant making committee members from the communities we serve throughout Oregon. As a result, our funding supports the most strategic work unfolding at the local level. Grantees receiving funds work on a range of issues including globalization, poverty, war, racism, sexism, homophobia and environmental destruction.
