How You Can Help
We truly appreciate all the support we have received over the years from our
contributors, board members, and wonderful staff.
With generous support from Oregon Watershed
Enhancement Board and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, we have been able to offer assistance to
every student that has requested it. These funds have not been enough to meet the increased costs of
insurance, facility upkeep and maintenance and program planning. We are taking a leap during the 2010/2011
school year to expand our services and educational opportunities in Southern Oregon. Your support either
financially, volunteering or though your groups participation will be much appreciated. Don't be
afraid to call and see how you can be part of the team.... 541-850-8218
Please help us continue our standards of excellence at
KOSS. Make it possible for a child without the financial means to have the chance to
experience Outdoor Education.
Donate
Today
**JustGive.org is a terrific site helping to collect our
donations. Unlike paypal, which takes approximately 5% percent of every donation, Justgive.org has reduced
that number to under 3%. We would like to warn you that it does require some time as you must create a login name
and password in order to protect your donation. These extra steps will secure your act of kindness. Thank
you.
+ Building a Vision: Our Capital Campaign.
In order to accomplish its plan for building permanent facilities, KOSS must raise funds for planning and construction. This capital campaign is dedicated to raising those funds.
Facilities to date have been funded through grants from Jeld-Wen Foundation, Meyer Memorial Trust, Collins Foundation, Klamath County Title III and PacifiCorp Foundation. KOSS is seeking additional grant funding for remaining construction. A local fundraising campaign is critical to show community support to potential grantors. KOSS needs your help in order to grow and fully realize its mission.
Contributions to the KOSS Capital Campaign Fund are fully tax-deductible and will be dedicated solely to construction needs. Phase 1 needs are to:
• Extend electricity to well & Yurts
• Install heater & lights in yurts
• Purchase & install a pump for the well
• Construct a pump house
• Obtain a permit for a septic system
• Install a septic system
• Pay for engineering of plans for a restroom facility
• Obtain building permit for restroom facility
• Construct restroom facility
• Install water, electrical, & septic hookups to restroom
KOSS would like to accomplish phase 1 through its local capital campaign. This would help considerable in leveraging grant funds to fulfill phase 2 construction needs of building a kitchen/dining hall facility.
