GC
Gorge Community Foundation
Give where you live, love, and learn — connecting generous people with the causes they care about across the Columbia Gorge.
Program Overview
For 25 years, GCF has helped donors invest in the health and resilience of our region. Our community-driven model ensures that giving is personalized, tax-efficient, easy, and aligned with local priorities — from education and arts to conservation, housing, and health. As we celebrate reaching $10 million in assets, we remain committed to supporting the nonprofits doing essential work in Hood River, Wasco, Gilliam, Skamania, Klickitat, and Sherman counties, especially at a time of rising needs and shrinking public funding.
