Source of funds
 In 1998, the financial assets of the Oregon
Trails Coordinating Council were transferred to The Oregon
Communtiy Foundation to establish the Oregon Historic Trails
Fund, dedicated to projects related
to Oregon historic trails as
recognized by the state legislature in ORS 358.075.
Although the fund derived much of its revenue
from the sale of Oregon Trail license plates, a long-term
goal is to build a large and stable resource to support local
citizen efforts that promote public awareness of and enjoyment
of the historic trails.
In
2008, the fund's market value was approximately $900,000. |
