Empowering People of Diverse Abilities

Creating Opportunities for All

Our Mission

At Opportunity Foundation of Central Oregon, we empower people of diverse abilities. Including those we serve and our team through inclusive programs and a culture of respect, growth, and community. We are dedicated to fostering independence, supporting meaningful lives, and creating opportunities for everyone to thrive.

What Our Community Says

​"Every organization has a story, but the ones that leave a lasting impression are those that change lives every day. Opportunity Foundation of Central Oregon is one of those organizations. At Washington Trust Bank, we're proud to support their efforts because we believe thriving communities are built through opportunity, inclusion, and partnership. When local organizations succeed in lifting others up, our entire community benefits. Their passion for helping others is contagious, and witnessing their commitment firsthand has been genuinely inspiring to our team."

Business Partner

​"Over the last 2 years, we have hosted 4 individuals from the Opportunity Foundation in our office.  Beyond the work experience of building skills in a workplace, we've enjoyed connecting with each individual on their good days and days that are challenging to them.  We've also ensured their birthdays are celebrated with our staff on their scheduled day, which has become a special treat each one has looked forward to for months.  Like our office, it should be a resounding YES from you to partner with the Opportunity Foundation and expand the job opportunities these individuals are seeking out.  Even the simplest tasks provide gainful on-the-job experience, so don't hesitate to connect with them today!"
