About the Sisters of St. Mary of Oregon Foundation

The Sisters of St. Mary of Oregon Foundation was established in 1998 to encourage financial aid and community support for the education, health care, and community service ministries of the Sisters of St. Mary of Oregon.

We exist to serve and sustain the community care efforts of the Sisters while honoring their rich spiritual legacy founded nearly 140 years ago.

We fulfill this mission through relationship-building, fundraising, stewardship, and marketing.
