We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.


--Winston Churchill

Support Oregon's Students

Thank you for making a gift to OMEF

We warmly invite you to join us in solving some of the most pressing issues of our time. With your help, we can end food insecurity, relieve financial stress around 6-figure loan debt, and provide invaluable opportunities for Oregon's MD, DO & PA students, because they deserve the chance to focus on learning and becoming the best providers they can be.


By far, the greatest need we see is in our student community.  Your gift will have a tremendous impact on local students’ health, well-being and ability to focus on their education.


  • $ 100 helps cover a student’s high-speed internet and other tech essential to full participation in online learning.


  • $ 250 helps ensure a student can afford enough healthy, nutritious food that month.


  • $ 500 helps cover the additional rent a student pays on short-term housing during rotation. 


  • $1,000 can get valuable resources like question banks and sample exams into a hard-working, time-poor student’s hands, saving time and increasing retention of the material. 


  • $5,000 can make a significant dent in a student’s loan debt, giving them the freedom to choose the area of medicine and the communities that they feel called to serve. 


  • $10,000 helps cover tuition and living expenses for several months.  The cost of a medical education has risen at twice the rate of inflation, doubling every 9 years!  Without scholarships like ours, a medical education is simply out of reach for many talented students, especially those from disadvantaged communities.  


  • $25,000 gifted to the OMEF Endowment will help ensure the long-term sustainability of our programs. 


All gifts are gratefully accepted and small, regular donations quickly add up to big impact for our mission.  When you give monthly, you are empowering OMEF to launch new programs with greater confidence and help more students.  Thank you for considering becoming a Friend of the OMEF!


Together, we can strengthen connections across the state and foster a culture of belonging for the next generation of healthcare leaders.

There are many ways to support our mission, and we are grateful for every gift.  OMEF is a registered 501c3 nonprofit organization (EIN 93-6022441), and your gift is tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
