DIFFERENT WAYS TO GIVE

KidSpirit has THREE different “buckets” for donations:

  • The Geoff Tomlinson KidSpirit Scholarship Endowment Fund is a specialized investment account used exclusively for scholarships that provide families in need with the means to attend our camps. We can only access a portion of these funds at a time, as the rest of the money accrues interest. This allows your donations to help more people as time goes on. The funds donated to this endowment are exclusively used towards scholarships for youth at KidSpirit.

To give to this fund, please select "Geoff Tomlinson Kidspirit Scholarship Endowment Fund."

  • The KidSpirit Program Fund is a general fund account we use at the discretion of our leadership team for important resources. The program fund may go towards equipment, staff development and training, wages, curriculum development, and occasionally backup scholarships when the endowment allowance isn’t enough. 

To give to this fund, please select "KidSpirit Program Fund."

  • The Geoff Tomlinson KidSpirit Scholarship Fund. We are committed to making KidSpirit accessible to all families, so we award scholarships for all of our programs. These are based on need and availability of funds. Our base scholarship is 25% of tuition cost.

DAM Proud Day 2024

On April 24, 2024, Beavers everywhere rallied together to support Oregon State University during its annual, Dam Proud Day! This 24-hour period is dedicated to celebrating the accomplishments of the Oregon State Beaver community, supporting all OSU students, programs, and stretching ourselves toward our goals.

There's nothing quite like celebrating the spirit of Oregon State University with fellow Beavers. Join KidSpirit in giving every child the chance to thrive this Dam Proud Day!
