Friends of the Columbia Gorge is the only nonprofit organization dedicated solely to protecting and enhancing the outstanding resources and communities within the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area. With support from over 5,200 individual members as well as our business members (both in the Gorge and outside of the Gorge), endowment funds and grants, Friends works to safeguard the Gorge and ensure the natural wonders found today will be preserved for generations to come.
Friends believes that transparency is essential for ensuring accountability to our members, donors, partners, and the communities we work with. Transparency is vital to enabling good performance and is key to maintaining legitimacy and credibility.
