OEA Foundation Helping Students Succeed
About the OEA Foundation
Established in 1995, the OEA Foundation provides educators with up to $100 grants to help students meet basic, urgent and immediate needs so they can succeed in school. Cash grants from the Foundation fill needs unmet by any other source.
The OEA Foundation has purchased countless pairs of eyeglasses, provided many students with winter coats, paid for dental work and doctor visits, fitted new shoes on lots of feet, and even replaced a broken bedroom window. When all is said and done, the OEA Foundation works to ensure that the physical, 社会, and emotional needs of students do not stand in the way of success in school.

每一天, professionals working in Oregon's public schools encounter students living with unmet basic needs; needs that have a serious impact on a student's ability to succeed in their education. Inadequate clothing and footwear, untreated medical or dental conditions, vision or hearing problems. OEA members frequently dig into their own pockets to help these students. But like most problems facing public education - we can achieve more when we work together.
The OEA Foundation creates an opportunity for educators across the state to pool their generously donated resources to ensure the impact we have for our students is greater than we could ever achieve on our own. The OEA Foundation conducts fundraising year-round to create a sustainable pool of resources that can be accessed to support students when they have a critical need.
Since its inception, the key source for foundation grants has been donations from OEA members and staff. The OEA family continues to be generous in their support through payroll deductions and cash and online donations. The Oregon Education Association funds all of the administrative costs of the Foundation, which allows all donations to be used to provide direct assistance to students.
