Matching Gifts
Many employers maintain a matching gift program. Your employer may make a contribution to the Foundation that will match your gift. Check with your employer prior to making your donation to determine the terms and requirements of its matching gift program.
United Way
It’s easy to set up an automatic payroll deduction through United Way. It’s as simple as designating the Foundation as the recipient of your donation on a United Way pledge sheet. Donations can be made through United Way as one-time payments, or through ongoing payroll deductions. 
Vehicle Donation Program
Donate your car, motorcycle, RV or boat to the Foundation. Free towing. Call Kathy Harrison at 503.353.6019 or email ncfoundation@nclack.k12.or.us to make your tax-deductible vehicle donation to the Foundation.

Pepsi Refresh has awarded $5,000 to support the Backpack Buddy program.
The Backpack Buddy program provides two meals to hungry students each weekend. The goal for supporting organizations is to serve students two meals per weekend for 37 weeks per year.
The North Clackamas Education Foundation will be accepting donations online shortly for the Backpack Buddy program. Several schools still need Backpack Buddies: To get involved, call Joe Krumm at 503-353-6017 or e-mail Joe or visit www.nclack.k12.or.us/
BackpackBuddies.
Another great program is the Lunch Buddy program. The Lunch Buddy program serves to provide friendship, support and positive role modeling for children in order to enhance self-esteem, promote resiliency and a healthy lifestyle. A lunch Buddy is someone to eat with, someone to talk to, someone to listen to, someone to laugh with, someone a child can depend on to be there for them.
If you are interested in becoming a Lunch Buddy Mentor at one of our elementary schools, please contact Linda Parsons for an application at (503) 353-3737 or email Linda.
