About Us

1. Our team is made of up individuals who care. Our connections in the community and experience help to provide scholarships for over 40 students.  All made possible through your generous donations and support.  Thank you for supporting students success.   
2. For the past six years OBEF has awarded scholarships to Eugene area students to continue pursuing their education or technical certifications goals. Through partnership with the good people at NextStep Electronics, students who needed a computer for education supports received a fully upgraded laptop at no cost. Thus far NextStep has donated over 20 computers on behalf of OBEF Supporting Students Success Scholarship program and we thank them for partnering with us.
3. 2020 marks seven years of OBEF Supporting Students Success. Over the past six years OBEF has awarded $35,000 in scholarships and no student applicant has ever been denied. We believe every student has value and deserves support. 
4. Unfortunately, this year due to COVID-19 pandemic OBEF has decided to postpone this year's annual Scholarship Dinner Fundraiser. While we are not hosting our annual event, we are still asking for donations to help continue our Supporting Students Success Scholarship program. The need is  greater than ever. 

Please mailing your tax-deductible donation to:

Oregon Black Education Foundation, 

PO Box 21132

Eugene, OR 97402

We look forward to seeing you again at next year's event. Thank you so much for making a difference. 

Sincerely,

James I. Manning Jr.

President and Secretary
