Portland Mountain Rescue is a non-profit, all volunteer organization that is funded entirely through individual donations, grants and other fundraising methods. None of our members are compensated for their work and we do not receive funding from the government.
Our Needs
Our funding needs fall into three categories: operating expenses, field equipment and educational resources. PMR maintains an operations vehicle, utilizes specialized mountain rescue equipment and performs a number of valuable community services free-of-charge. Though all members must have their own basic mountaineering and climbing equipment, the PMR-owned technical equipment is often quite expensive to purchase and maintain.
Though we occasionally accept donations in the form of goods or services, our main need is cash to fund ongoing operations.
