Donate to IVCanDO

Donations to the Illinois Valley Community Development Organization, or as we like to call it, IVCanDO, are one of the most effective ways you can support the people and places of the Illinois Valley.

Every gift stays rooted here in rural southwest Oregon – helping neighbors, strengthening local businesses, and building long-term prosperity for our community.

Give Online Today

Use our secure online form to make a one-time donation or set up a recurring monthly, quarterly or yearly gift. Your contribution is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law and directly supports IVCanDO’s community-led programs across People, Place, and Prosperity.

BECOME AN IVCDO COMMUNITY CHAMPION

IVCanDO recognizes donors who choose to give monthly – at any amount – as IVCanDO Community Champions.

Community Champions understand the impact of sustained, steady giving on our rural community. Their ongoing support helps us plan ahead, respond quickly when needs arise, and keep vital programs going strong.

Community Champions receive:

  • Annual recognition and a brief impact update
  • Occasional behind-the-scenes e-newsletters
  • Invitations to select IVCanDO events and community conversations

To become a Community Champion, simply choose “monthly” or “yearly” as the frequency when you give online.

  • Support local businesses and jobs through tools like our Revolving Loan Fund and microenterprise programs.
  • Invest in parks, trails, and public spaces that make the Illinois Valley a healthy, welcoming place to live, work, and play.
  • Strengthen arts, culture, and education opportunities for youth and families.
  • Advance community-led strategic planning so neighbors can define priorities and shape the future of the valley.
  • Build community capacity by connecting partners, convening conversations, and supporting emerging leaders.
