Mission
The mission of Deschutes Children's Foundation is to promote a community of services to the children and families of Deschutes County.
Vision
Deschutes Children's Foundation will provide facilitation and support for non-profit and government agencies that serve children and families throughout Deschutes County, primarily by managing an interrelated group of collaborative campuses.
Values
- We believe children are society's building blocks
- We believe a comfortable and respectable environment fosters good results
- We believe communication and collaboration produce good outcomes
- We believe our community deserves accountability and efficient use of its resources
At each of our collaborative campuses:
- No rent is charged, allowing resident programs to serve more children and families. Conservatively estimated, the savings amounts to approximately $800,000 annually.
- Shared equipment and staffing save additional money.
- Centralized property management saves programs time.
- A welcoming environment comforts children and families in need.
- Duplication of services is avoided; collaborations are fostered.
