Behind every family who finds help, there’s a network making that support possible. At Deschutes Children’s Foundation, we remove the burdens our nonprofit partners face: unexpected costs, facility worries, and barriers that take time away from helping families.

Our Campus Advocates welcome families to our campuses, connect them with the services of our partner organizations, listen to their needs, and connect them to life-changing services. ❤️

When you support DCF's Ripples Gala, you strengthen the 23 nonprofits working every day to care for our community. The need is real, and your support matters.

“Everybody can be great because everybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve… You only need a heart full of grace, a soul generated by love.”
— Martin Luther King Jr.

At Deschutes Children’s Foundation, this belief lives at the heart of our work. Every day, our nonprofit partners, staff, and supporters show what service looks like by caring for children and families and helping our community thrive. We are grateful for the many ways our community serves.

In honor of Dr. King and his legacy of service, our campuses are closed today. Please check with our partners for their hours of operation.
