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. Unfortunately, and particularly in this economic climate, the need is ever-present and continues to grow in Oregon.

​

Since its creation, the Foundation has distributed over $900,000 to help needy Oregon public school students. Since the beginning, the key source for these critical funds has been OEA members and staff. The OEA family continues to be generous in their support through payroll deductions and cash 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.

​

Over the past 15 years, the OEA Foundation has purchased countless pairs of eyeglasses, repaired a broken wheelchair, provided many students with their first winter coat, 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, social, and emotional needs of students do not stand in the way of success in school.

Who may access the grant process?

Thank you for supporting the OEA Foundation, to allow OEA members to help students succeed.

 

 

 

OEA Political Action Committee

 

OEA-PAC is OEA's political action committee (PAC). We use money that is voluntarily contributed to elect pro-public education school boards, state representatives and senators, and governors. Our PAC program is also coordinated with the National Education Association's federal PAC, which serves as our voice in Washington and helps to elect pro-public education members of Congress.

 

Political decisions affect our classrooms, jobs, students, and families. Our union is facing unprecendented attacks and our profession and funding are under constant threat; we can't afford to sit on the sidelines. The most powerful tool our association has to protect public schools is OEA-PAC.

 

Join thousands of your fellow Oregon educators in contributing monthly to OEA-PAC and make your voice heard!
