onors, and volunteers who are working
to combat some of Oregon?s most enduring problems, including:
? Education Inequity
? Environmental Conservation
? Social Inequity and Discrimination
? Hunger and Homelessness
? The Urban/Rural Divide
? Arts, Culture, and Heritage Funding
Traversing the state from a remote Great Basin field station to an intercultural center in north
Portland, State of Giving shows the many faces of public engagement in people like education
activist Ron Herndon, volunteer historians Gwen Carr and Willie Richardson, and Wallowa
County philanthropist and rancher Doug McDaniel. Their stories reveal that there are ways
in which we all?regardless of wealth, location, age, or background?can give back to our
communities.
In addition to introducing Oregon?s key areas of need and demonstrating diverse pathways
into civic engagement, the book provides extensive resources for prospective volunteers and
donors. Rousing, accessible, and enlivened by photographs of its people and places, State of Giving
is an essential reference for anyone interested in building a better Oregon, starting today.
