| FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION | THE OREGON STUDENT PUBLIC INTEREST RESEARCH GROUP EDUCATION FUND IS A PRIVATE NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION FOUNDED IN 1971 TO CONDUCT NONPARTISAN ANALYSIS, STUDY AND RESEARCH OF ISSUES OF GENERAL PUBLIC INTEREST, INCLUDING ENVIRONMENTAL PRESERVATION AND CONSUMER PROTECTION, AND TO MAKE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC A FULL AND FAIR EXPOSITION OF THE RESULTING PERTINENT FACTS SO THAT CITIZENS MAY FORM INDEPENDENT CONCLUSIONS BENEFICIAL TO THE COMMUNITY. THE ORGANIZATION IS GOVERNED BY AN ALL- STUDENT BOARD OF DIRECTORS, AND VIRTUALLY 100% OF FUNDING IS RECEIVED FROM THE STUDENT ACTIVITY FUNDS OF PARTICIPATING OREGON UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES. HUNDREDS OF STUDENTS AT PARTICIPATING COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES VOLUNTEER OR DO FACULTY-SPONSORED INTERNSHIPS AROUND SELF-DIRECTED PROJECTS, WITH THE GUIDANCE OF THE ORGANIZATION'S PROFESSIONAL STAFF, AND THROUGH OSPIRG CAMPUSES ACTIVITIES, THOUSANDS OF STUDENTS GET CIVICALLY INVOLVED ON IMPORTANT ISSUES. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A | -HELP SEVERAL THOUSAND STUDENTS PERFORM A BASIC CIVIC ENGAGEMENT ACT SUCH AS: WRITE OR PHONE A POLICYMAKER, DONATE MONEY TO A CHARITY, OR SIGN A PETITION. -SPONSOR AT LEAST 60 INTERNS AND ENGAGE AROUND 400 VOLUNTEERS. INTERNS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR RUNNING THEIR OWN CAMPAIGN OR A PORTION OF THEIR OWN CAMPAIGN. -ORGANIZE 3 STATEWIDE MEETINGS PER TERM THAT INCLUDE BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETINGS WHERE STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN ORGANIZATIONAL DECISIONS, SKILLS TRAININGS AND ISSUE BRIEFINGS. PROTECTING CONSUMERS: WHAT FOLLOWS IS A LIST OF OSPIRG CONSUMER RESOURCES THAT WE DISTRIBUTED ON CAMPUS AND IN THE COMMUNITY. ALL ARE AVAILABLE AT OUR WEBSITE, FREE OF CHARGE. -FINDING THE BEST BANK FOR YOUR BUCK -WHAT AFFECTS MY CREDIT IN OREGON -HOW TO KEEP YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION SAFE ONLINE -TIPS TO SAVE ON TEXTBOOKS -STUDENT AID 101 -HEALTH CARE 101: SO YOU NEED HEALTH INSURANCE, NOW WHAT? -HOW TO AVOID IDENTITY THEFT -THE CREDIT CARD TRAP HUNGER AND HOMELESSNESS: 18% OF OREGON CHILDREN HAVE LIMITED OR UNCERTAIN ACCESS TO ADEQUATE FOOD AND THE NUMBER OF FAMILIES IN NEED IS ON THE RISE. IN FY18, WE CONTINUED OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH FOOD FOR LANE COUNTY AND OTHER COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS TO RAISE FUNDS AND FOOD TO SUPPLY HEALTHY MEALS TO THE HUNGRY AND HOMELESS POPULATION IN LANE AND JACKSON COUNTIES. ACTIVITIES INCLUDED CANNED FOOD AND FUNDRAISING EVENTS, AS WELL AS VOLUNTEER EVENTS AT FOOD PANTRIES. STUDENTS PARTNERED WITH FOOD FOR LANE COUNTY AND ORGANIZED A NUMBER OF VOLUNTEER AND SERVICE EVENTS, INCLUDING: A HALLOWEEN "TRICK-OR-CAN" EVENT IN WHICH STUDENTS COLLECTED OVER 500 FOOD ITEMS, AND 6 GARDEN SERVICE DAYS. PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT: SAVE THE BEES-MILLIONS OF BEES ARE DYING OFF. WE RELY ON BEES TO POLLINATE EVERYTHING FROM COFFEE TO STRAWBERRIES TO THE ALFALFA USED TO FEED DAIRY COWS. UNFORTUNATELY, BEEKEEPERS REPORT THEY'RE LOSING AN AVERAGE OF 30% OF ALL BEE COLONIES EACH YEAR. OSPIRG STUDENT VOLUNTEERS WORKED TO COLLECTED 527 PETITION SIGNATURES AND 52 PHOTO PETITIONS AT A SINGLE EVENT IN WHICH STUDENTS COULD PAINT "BEE PET ROCKS- AND LEARN ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF POLLINATORS. THESE 500 PETITIONS JOINED THE 2,500 COLLECTED IN ACADEMIC YEAR '16-'17 TO SAVE THE BEES WHICH WERE DELIVERED TO THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT, CALLING ON UO TO BECOME A BEE CAMPUS, AND WE WON ON JUNE 19TH UNIVERSITY OF OREGON BECAME THE NEWEST BEE CAMPUS USA. DEFEND OUR RIVERS: STOP THE PIPELINE-OREGON'S RIVERS ARE UNDER THREAT FROM THE JORDAN COVE PIPELINE. THE GOOD NEWS IS GOVERNOR BROWN CAN STOP THIS FOSSIL FUEL PIPELINE. STUDENTS COLLECTED OVER A THOUSAND PETITION SIGNATURES CALLING ON THE GOVERNOR TO KEEP OREGON'S RIVERS AS CLEAN AS HER ENVIRONMENTAL RECORD. STUDENTS ALSO RELEASED A REPORT ON THE PROPOSED PIPELINE ROUTE AND ATTENDED DEQ HEARINGS. MAKE TEXTBOOKS AFFORDABLE: TEXTBOOK PRICES HAVE SKYROCKETED FOUR TIMES FASTER THAN INFLATION FOR THE PAST TWO DECADES, AND THE AVERAGE STUDENT SPENDS 1,100 ON BOOKS AND SUPPLIES EACH YEAR. ONE APPROACH TO LOWERING TEXTBOOK COSTS IS TO PROMOTE LOWER COST ALTERNATIVES TO TRADITIONAL TEXTBOOKS. ONE SUCH MODEL IS CALLED "OPEN TEXTBOOKS", WHICH ARE PEER REVIEWED INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS OFTEN AVAILABLE ONLINE FOR LITTLE OR NO COST, AND AFFORDABLE TO BUY IN PRINT. IN RECENT YEARS, OSPIRG HAS WORKED TO BUILD VISIBILITY AMONG STUDENTS AND FACULTY FOR THE CONCEPT OF OPEN TEXTBOOKS, RELEASING RESEARCH, INCLUDING INFORMATION ABOUT SPECIFIC OPEN TEXTBOOKS, AND ENCOURAGING STUDENTS TO DISCUSS THE ISSUE WITH THEIR FACULTY. OSPIRG VOLUNTEERS SURVEYED STUDENTS ABOUT TEXTBOOK AFFORDABILITY AND OPEN EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES AND LEARNED THAT OVERWHELMING NUMBER ARE STRUGGLING TO KEEP UP WITH THE COST OF THEIR CLASSROOM MATERIALS. WE FOUND THAT MANY STUDENTS HAD ELECTED NOT TO TAKE AS MANY CLASSES DUE TO THE PRICE OF THE BOOKS, WHILE MANY OTHERS ATTEND CLASS WITHOUT PURCHASING THE NECESSARY MATERIALS BECAUSE THEY ARE UNAFFORDABLE. OSPIRG HELPED COMPILE THIS DATA AND THEN RELEASE A NATIONAL REPORT CALLED "OPEN 101" THAT WAS COVERED BY THE LOCAL NEWS. |
