Supporting Community Safety

Who We Are

The Eugene Police Foundation is an independent community-based entity formed to support the overall performance capability of the Eugene Police Department (EPD) by providing financial and organizational support for, among other things, (1) acquisition of specialized safety equipment, training, and other service enhancements that promote the health and safety of EPD personnel and support high-level police operations; and (2) fostering communications, awareness, partnerships, and positive working relationships between EPD and Eugene citizens and community organizations.

The activities of the Foundation are intended to complement but not displace or reduce the responsibility of the City of Eugene and its citizens to provide the necessary public funding for essential law enforcement services. The Foundation’s expenditure decisions are made in response to requests and recommendations by EPD leadership as off-budget needs or opportunities arise.

There is no paid staff, and no fixed overhead. Administrative expenses (postage, printing, website management, and the like) are less than five percent of total revenue.
