Oregon Korea Foundation
About Oregon Korea Foundation
The Oregon Korea Foundation (OKF) is a community based, 501 C(3) non-profit organization to preserve, promote and share Korean cultural heritage, and to facilitate a culture of giving and to serve as a guardian of permanent funds available to safeguard the quality of Korean-Americans in our community.
The Oregon Korea Foundation was founded in 1995 by a group which included some of the former presidents of the Korean Society of Oregon, for the purpose of maintaining and enhancing the Korean Community Building.
The OKF building’s inception in 1995 was the result of the passionate efforts and generous donations of numerous Korean-Americans from all walks of life in Oregon, as well as the leadership of all former presidents of KSO since 1967 when KSO was born.
In 2002, the OKF vision was completed by introducing an endowment concept to benefit the Korean community. The immense show of support has been a testimonial to this vision of creating hope, possibilities, and success to those in need.
