Support the Crater Lake National Park Trust

The Trust depends on your tax-deductible donations to help students, teachers, and visitors to share in the excitement of this great natural wonder. Your contribution, no matter how small, has a major impact on programs at the park for generations to come.

Donations allow the Trust to present programs such as a tribal program at the park, or present science and history of the park in surrounding communities. Also, your contributions help entire classrooms of grade school students to experience Crater Lake through our education program.

Did you know that you can delay or minimize taxes on IRA Required Minimum Distributions by donating some of your distributions to a qualified charity, like the Crater Lake National Park Trust?

Qualified charitable distributions allow you to transfer money from an IRA to an eligible nonprofit organization.  These distributions aren’t taxable and they still count toward satisfying your required minimum distributions for the year.  Please check with your financial advisor or tax accountant for expert advice to see if this is right for you. 

No amount is too small or too big. You can simply click on the link below to donate securely through PayPal, or, if you would like to discuss a gift in person, please call the Trust office at (541) 770-1179.
