Building Hope in the Heart of the Valley

In the heart of the Mid-Willamette Valley of Oregon, where hope has taken root for a century, Trillium’s Corvallis campus stands as a testament to unwavering support for our state’s young people. As we mark the centennial milestone, a new chapter unfolds—a tale of community resilience, compassion, and philanthropy. 

Trillium’s successful Heart of the Valley Campaign isn’t just about bricks and mortar. It’s a narrative of positive change etched in the lives of Oregon’s youth. The generous community support of $1.1 million donated to Trillium is breathing new life into the gymnasium, cafeteria, and clinical services building—sanctuaries where family bonds strengthen, therapeutic journeys unfold, and essential gatherings become moments of healing. 

Trillium’s Corvallis campus is a lifeline for young people and their families navigating mental health crises. Take Anneka for example. After a lifechanging event, Trillium helped Anneka work through her debilitating anxiety to a place of confidence and ambition. The facilities we aim to improve are spaces where stories like Anneka's unfold—spaces for therapy, education, and self-discovery.

We extend our deepest gratitude to every board member, donor, and supporter who contributed to the success of the Heart of the Valley Campaign. In the heart of the valley, philanthropy is not just building structures, it's supporting hope, resilience, and transformation for Oregon's children and families. Together, we are creating a legacy of support that will echo for another century.

The Heart of the Valley Campaign would not have been possible without the generosity of our community. Trillium would like to thank the following for their support: Henry Lea Hillman Jr. Foundation; Joseph E. Weston Fund of the Oregon Community Foundation; Marie Lamfrom Charitable Foundation; Maybelle Clark Macdonald Fund; M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust; William H. & Mary L. Bauman Foundation; OnPoint; Oregon State Credit Union
