Sage Society Membership

Live your values and stand up for Oregon’s desert public lands, waterways, and wildlife when you donate to Oregon Natural Desert Association each month. Sage Society members propel critical conservation efforts alongside a dynamic community of advocates. And, as a monthly donor, your membership won’t expire.

If you want to increase your existing monthly donation email ONDA’s Development Associate with your new contribution amount and we’ll update your donation accordingly. To change your payment method or update your credit card information please call the ONDA office at (541) 330-2638 x301.

You may set up your ongoing monthly gift with a credit card. Or, better yet, choose a transfer from your bank account. Bank transfers avoid credit card processing fees and expiration dates. Both options for monthly giving are available on our online donation form:

“I find enjoyment in the peaceful wide open spaces, geology, and rich history of Oregon’s high desert,” says Mary. Reflecting on volunteering, she continues, “If you have the ability and desire, it’s important to do something to contribute. It doesn’t have to be big, because every little bit helps.”

“I contribute to ONDA monthly because it adds up to a larger annual gift than what I’d be able to comfortably afford if I were to do a simple one-time donation annually. I’m able to give more to ONDA this way and have greater impact which is important to me, and my dog Polly.”

“ONDA stewardship trips inspire me. I get to learn new things and see new places, and in the process perform important work that improves the wildlife habitat.”

“I love to travel and I love the desert! Supporting ONDA

Oregon’s high desert- even when I’m not there.”
Jane Heisler, Sage Society member
