Reaching New Heights Capital Campaign

The next hundred years of Mazamas contribution to our community must start with a solid financial foundation for our new home. 
The capital campaign will raise $1.75 million to pay for the purchase and remodeling of the Mazama Mountaineering Center (MMC).  Currently the Mazama Foundation has secured a revolving bank loan to cover these costs, thus giving the campaign a five year period to reach it’s goal.  You can visit the Mazama Mountaineering Center Pages to learn more about our new facility.

You can Donate Now On-Line or you can Download a capital campaign brochure with the donation form (2.7MB) and mail in your gift.
A number of long-term members have created the leadership, both financial and organizational, to start the campaign. Initiated by Chris Mackert and Keith Mischke, the capital campaign is currently co-chaired by Keith Dubanevich and Eugene Lewins.

Several campaign task forces are actively raising funds in the following categories:

• Leadership Gifts - cochairs Wendy Carlton and Tom Bard
• Estate Gifts - cochairs Lori Freeman and Chris Kabel
• External Gifts - cochairs Jon Jurevic and Nancy Miller
• Membership Gifts - cochairs Pat Cook and Brad Chaddick

We have retained the services of a consultant, Smith and Company, who have a successful track record of supporting similar sized non-profit campaigns.
