Purpose

The Foundation is a non-profit 501(c) (3) organization, created with purpose and dedication to strengthen, support and enhance the Philomath community and its environs.

The Foundation provides citizens and organizations with a quality of life-style through acquiring financial gifts, grants and donations and estate endowments benefiting our aggregate Philomath community.

OUR BOARD of DIRECTORS is GROWING! PDF Print E-mail
Sunday, 01 February 2009 23:55

We welcomed a new director last September when Chris Gerding joined our board.  A long time Philomath resident, Chris brings fresh vitality, great enthusiasm and energetic ideas that blend well with the mission and purpose of this Foundation.

 

The Board of Directors was also very excited to learn that Rod Harvey was interested in returning to the Foundation.  He is a former director and president of the Foundation.  Having recently focused his energy on the Benton County Historical Museum, we happily welcomed his return this past December.  He was then, and is now, a great asset to this Foundation.

 

Joining Rod in December was Matt Bierek.  Matt wears many hats in serving on the Philomath City Council, helping the Philomath Scout Lodge raise its new roof and now serving as our newest director.  Matt is especially helpful in sharing his knowledge of operating non-profit organizations.       

 

Not only did we add new directors, but we now have two new officers.  Having served as vice-president of the Foundation these last two years, Joe Malcom is now our president.  And, although on our Board of Directors for only one year, Neal Peterson is our new vice-president.  Steven Kearsley and Cheryl Black retain their positions of treasurer and secretary, respectively.  We all appreciate their hard work and continued interest in serving the City of Philomath and those who reside within.
