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.
