PHILANTHROPIC HIGHLIGHTS: VOLUNTEERISM The Philanthropy of Time and Talent


Philanthropy is about so much more than money. It is about the generosity of one’s spirit to support an endeavor that is meaningful to you. The support provided by volunteerism — gifts of time and talent — is critical to OES’s ability to fulfill its mission.


In 2014–15, the fiscal value of volunteer hours was $807,450 (based on the Independent Sector’s Value of Volunteer Time in Oregon). The intangible value goes much deeper. It is a symbiosis, where the skills, interests, and experience of our volunteers influence the growth and direction of the school toward the best possible education for our children.


Thank you to all of our volunteers in 2014–15. We simply couldn’t have done it without you!

“It has been a privilege for me to volunteer and run volunteer programs at OES. It has given me a chance to


stay close to my kids and contribute to one of the most important periods of their lives. I have worked with many wonderful parents who devote enormous time and effort, and great relationships have formed as a result. We hope to build on what we have achieved through this program.


”


— Ruchi Prakash, long-time All School Volunteer Coordinator and parent of Rhea ’19 and Ronit ’22.
