Oxygen Collective Receives Grant Support From MRG

The MacKenzie River Gathering foundation has granted the Oxygen Collective a $5000 grant to build our capacity as an organization and contract some of our members to work on administrative tasks, membership building and fundraising. We will use these funds to help turn our organization from an all volunteer project towards one where we are self sufficient enough to compensate members for community organizing and developing future tours.

We also look forward to making some infrastructure upgrades on our biofuel bus, improving our website and furthering our collaborative work with other groups like the Clean Fuels Caravan Coalition (www.cleanfuelcaravan.com) and the crew of musicians and performers we traveled with on our last tour.

The Oxygen Collective continues to focus most of our energy on the protection of our regions native and old growth forests. Our largest project is the ongoing campaign to save the Wild Siskiyou from the Bush Administration?s massive logging project called the Biscuit Fire Recovery Project. Stay tuned for much more to come.
