Because of you, we were able to support 19 nonprofits that serve Central Oregon through environment, housing and youth initiatives this past year.

When we established the Skjersaa Group 20 years ago, we knew that having a well-defined plan for giving back to our local community was a core value. Modeled after the 1% for the Planet giving network founded by Yvon Chouinard and Craig Mathews, our One Percent campaign guides our pledge to donate at least 1% of our annual revenue to non-profit organizations that improve the quality of life for Central Oregonians each year.

Thank you for supporting us in 2024. We are grateful and excited to report that we made financial contributions to these community organizations last year:

Bend Roots Revival
Bethlehem Inn
Brightside Animal Center
