The CRA was founded in 1991. We are a nonprofit tax-exempt organization incorporated in the state of Oregon. Our office is located in Corvallis, Oregon. The Association is governed by its Board of Directors who are solely responsible for the accomplishment of our mission. Our funding comes from donations by individual supporters like yourself or from foundation grants.
Foundations generally support specific project work.
We receive no money from big business or the government nor do we ask for any. As a small regional organization we play an important role in the work to build a sustainable society. It is important to understand what the CRA is. The CRA is a regional advocacy organization with a mission of building sustainable communities. The purpose of the Coast Range Association is to empower citizens with the information necessary to achieve sustainable communities and provide for the natural heritage of the Coast Range.
