What it reported doing in 2025

Rubicon Community Fund works directly with leadership at Oregon DHS to provide gifts to children in the foster care system within the state of Oregon. In 2025, we provided gifts to all the children and youth in need as identified by the Oregon DHS Foster Care Programs in five separate regions throughout Oregon. In total, we provided 1,138 gifts 567 children and youth. Revenue spent during fiscal year 2025 was toward the acquisition of gifts for the annual Gifting Program and Rubicon Investments Corporation underwrites the expenses of the Rubicon Community Fund to ensure that 100% of the donations are directed towards the acquisition of the gifts.
