PEP's services are free to clients. We rely upon funding from individuals, foundations, government agencies and corporations to pay our operating expenses and we rely upon volunteers to provide much of the labor necessary for our programs.

You can help PEP by:

  • Making a financial contribution.
  • Donating your time and expertise as a PEP volunteer or intern.
  • Making an in-kind donation.
  • Staying informed of PEP's activities by joining our mailing list.

To make a financial contribution:
Make checks payable to the Parent Enhancement Program and send to 421 NW 4th Street, Suite A, Corvallis, OR 97330. Your donation is tax-deductible and greatly appreciated!
